Automated Code Generation for Industrial-Strength Systems

Model-driven engineering proposes to develop software systems by first creating an executable model of the system design and then transforming this model into an implementation. This paper discusses the design of an automatic code generation system that transforms such models into product implementations for highly reliable, industrial-strength systems. It provides insights, practical considerations, and lessons learned when developing code generators for applications that must conform to the constraints imposed by realworld, high-performance systems. Automatic code generation has played a large part in dramatically increasing both the quality and the reliability of software for these systems.
