Model-Driven Development using the Software Matrix

Summary

1. The Software Matrix is a framework that actively supports flexible configuration of software system components based on fine-grained message-passing communication.
2. The model-driven development, developed by Tilak, uses the Software Matrix architecture to define a target structure for code generated from UML style models.
3. By employing message-passing with a discovery infrastructure, we've built a pluggable architecture that gracefully supports development based on models constructed with Athena, a graphics editor developed using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This was demonstrated with a proof-of-concept process and port sniffer system using a repository of existing cell source code, and added newly developed code.
