Besides being a buzzword and yet another promised silver bullet, model-driven development (MDD) is an approach to software development in which models of software play a fundamental role. In this talk, we first identify some key issues that plague modern software development and trace them to problems inherent in some of the most widely-used programming technologies. This is followed by a short overview of the basic characteristics of MDD and the potential benefits that it can bring. The results achieved in applying MDD to industrial practice are reviewed next. Finally, we examine the impediments towards a broader adoption of MDD and what can be done to overcome them.
