Application of Model Based Development to Flexible Code Generation

This address will present the author's views and perspectives on the past, present and future use of model based development techniques to enable the automated generation of source code and other forms of programming. This address will discuss past and present use of model based development and automated code generation at Lockheed Martin, with special emphasis on NASA's Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle Program. This address will discuss the advantages and disadvantages, associated with the current state of the practice techniques and tools, used to automatically generate source code from general purpose and domain specific models. This address will discuss the obstacles and enablers, associated with achieving the desired future state of complete and efficient automated generation of programming through transformation of general purpose and domain specific models.
