Overview in the eclipse model-driven architecture tools

Abstract

With the evolution of software engineering and the need to create multiplatform applications has increased in our daily life, but the fact to have a custom code for each platform is costly for companies, having a solution to save development time has become primordial, hence it comes to the model-driven architecture approach. This approach provides the ability to keep the business logic which is represented as the model and apply the transformation to generate these applications. Implementing and applying this transformation can be done by using some tools that can help generate code from models or do reverse engineering to go from code to models. This paper aims to shade light to the MDA approach and the used tools to implement the concepts of this approach to help the readers to save time and well understand the approach.
