Abstract

The complexity of Model-driven engineering (MDE) leads to a limited adoption in practice. In this paper we argue that MDE offers "low hanging fruit" if creating executable UML models allowing core functionali-ty prototyping is targeted rather than developing full-fledged information systems. This paper describes an environment for designing and validating conceptual business models using the model-driven architecture (MDA). The deliverable of the proposed modelling environment is an executable platform independent model (EPIM) that is further tested and validated through an MDA-based simulation feature. The proposed environment addresses a set of challenges associated with 1. shortcomings of the UML for being technically too complex for conceptual modelling goals as well as for being imprecise for rapid prototyping; 2. difficulties of MDE adoption due to the large set of required skills to adopt the key MDA standards such as the UML, MOF and XMI. The paper aims to introduce the current work and identify the needs for future research.
