Section: Application Domains

Introduction

By definition, MDE can be applied to any software domain. Core MDE techniques developed by the team have been successfully applied to a large variety of industrial domains from information systems to embedded systems. MDE is not even restricted to software engineering, but also applies to data engineering [50] and to system engineering [41] . There are a lot of problems in these application domains that may be addressed by means of modeling and model transformation techniques. For the core techniques, we are now focusing on solving the scalability problem to make sure they can be successfully adopted by our industrial partners in the context of large and complex software systems.

Nevertheless, the team has indeed selected a set of vertical and horizontal domains that AtlanMod finds specially interesting. In what follows we describe three of them.
