AndroMDA Information

AndroMDA is an automatic tool with a medium amount of intelligence built into it. Such a tool always has to rely upon some clearly defined preconditions; in the case of AndroMDA, these preconditions are modeling conventions. This means that a UML model for use with AndroMDA cannot be structured arbitrarily but has to adhere to a certain structure that can be interpreted by AndroMDA. On the other hand, not too many constraints should be imposed on the modeler - after all, a model should represent the conceptual reality of the customer's requirements and the structure of the application domain. To sum up it all up, we've tried to keep the number of rules low in order to keep your freedom of modeling high. Keep in mind: modeling standards/requirements will ultimately be dependantant on the implementation(s) of the cartridge(s) you employ at build time. Each cartridge has required properties and modeling conventions that must be followed.
