The document discusses software automation through model-driven software development (MDSD) using Eclipse modeling. It emphasizes the issues of code complexity and the potential solutions offered by code generation, demonstrating how to streamline software development. The content includes examples of code implementation and encourages higher efficiency and maintainability in coding practices.

7. Some Typical Situations
in
Software Development

8. Boring code

9. Accidental complexity

10. Wrong level of abstraction

11. Anatomy of Modern Software
Software artifact

12. Anatomy of Modern Software
manually written code Frameworks
Libraries

13. Anatomy of Modern Software
manually written
code
Frameworks
schematic code (manually written)
Libraries

14. The Result?

15. More and more code to write

16. More and more code to write

17. More and more code to write

20. Problems
Can we solve them with models?

21. Yes, we can!

22. Code Generation Helps
Model
