Baseline-Oriented Modeling: An MDA Approach Based on Software Product Lines for the Expert Systems Development

This paper presents our baseline oriented modeling (BOM) approach. BOM is a framework that automatically generates software applications as PRISMA architectural models using model transformations and software product line techniques. We follow the model-driven architecture initiative building domain models which are automatically transformed into platform independent models, and then compiled to an executable application (i.e. platform specific models). In order to illustrate BOM, we focus on a specific domain: the diagnostic expert systems.
