Abstract

This paper presents a strategy to facilitate the customization of MDSE software development environments, which aims at providing the software engineers who design, implement and maintain those environments with capacity to automate the generation of tools supporting new development processes. A generic conception for the design of software development environments based on the MDSE paradigm, called MDDE (Model-Driven Development Environment), has been defined as basis of the proposed strategy. In MDDE, the definition of the processes that determine the functionality of an environment as well as their options regarding interaction, supervision and control by the users are completely formulated as models. To support this capability, the MDDE reference model includes a meta-model that formalizes such models. A sample implementation called MDDE-MinMAST2 is presented for illustrative purposes.
