Abstract

Currently, general-purpose modelling tools are often only used to draw diagrams for the documentation. The introduction of model-driven software development approaches involves the definition of domain-specific modelling languages that allow code generation. Although graphical representations of the involved models are important for documentation, the development of required visualisations and editors is cumbersome. In this paper we propose to extend the typical model-driven approach with the automatic generation of diagrams for documentation. We illustrate the approach using the Model Driven Architecture in the domains of software architecture and control systems.
