Abstract

Nowadays, the certification of applications and software systems is considered as a task of growing importance. In fact, software development life cycle itself is also considered as a matter of certification concern, especially with the emergence of new approaches. The proposal of Model Driven Archi¬tecture (MDA) shifted the software development towards modeling. However, MDA as such still lacks the appropriate implementation framework. The origi¬nal article outlines a conceptual framework, which may be used as a foundation for certification of MDA tools.
