A code generator that translates Executable UML models into application code is a vital component of a full MDA solution based on Kennedy Carter’s products. A code generator can not only translate the UML entities and Action Language in an executable UML model into a target language but also implement very sophisticated mappings between the computational model of the xUML models and that of the target platform.
Kennedy Carter’s toolset facilitates the implementation of sophisticated code generators that can embody intellectual property that differentiates a company and its products from its competitors. For this reason, Kennedy Carter has, in addition to the standard training courses covering the building of Executable UML models, prepared a number of workshops focused on,
- The development of code generators and other utilities using the iCCG tool and the services it provides;
- The architecture and components of specific code generators developed by Kennedy Carter; and
- The modification and enhancement of iCCG-based utilities built by Kennedy Carter.
The workshops are aimed at experts who, by building their own iCCG-based model compiler or modifying a model compiler built by Kennedy Carter, are going to be responsible for defining, implementing and supporting key components of their organisation’s development process. These workshops are usually delivered on-site at a customer’s facility.
