Abstract

The development of an enterprise management system is a very complex process. It must be able to efficiently manage the heterogeneity and complexity of the enterprise infrastructure and services. This situation is resolved by adopting a generic information model and reasoning over it. Moreover, the system must support non-functional requirements, such as scalability or reliability. In this domain, these requirements have matured into a cumbersome enterprise framework ecosystem, imposing a steep learning curve to the development team. This paper presents a case study that tries to address these concerns. We have applied MDE (Model-Driven Engineering) techniques and tools in order to reduce the coding effort and partially abstract from the complexity. We detail here the decisions behind the followed process, and provide a complete report on our experience, discussing the strong points and the limitations found in both our approach and the supporting tools.
