| The cycle of using graphical tools, future of UML, MDA, and libraries
of associations.
(OOPSLA workshop, Montreal Oct.22, 2007)
A historical cycle has been observed: As the software complexity is
growing, graphical tools become popular - but then a new programming
paradigm emerges and makes these tools obsolete, and that is the
beginning of the next cycle. Based on this observation, the current
popularity of UML suggests that a new paradigm shift is imminent.
Questions to discuss: What will be this new paradigm and its effect
on UML and MDA? Could we generate a diagram from a textual
specification of the model instead of generating code from a diagram,
and could this textual model directly drive the implementation? How to
build libraries of generic associations which would be a natural
extension of the existing containers and include even structural
design patterns?
