
Iteratively developed systems where
models are the source of program
execution
Models are great for communication and
document the system at the same time
Generate all framework and plumbing
code with high level of quality
Survive paradigm changes
Data intensive systems

Data intensive systems operate on the
domain data
Typically company expert systems
Presenting and storing data are the main

Using the dialog generator
The template prints out the name
of all dialogs in the application to
the specified file, "data.txt“
Directives:
 %FILE%, %ENDFILE%
 %ITERATE%, %ENDITERATE%
Substitutions:
 %Name%
Text:
 “Dialog: “
