I have moved my blog – once again I’m on Wordpress (after a few years).
Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds, as I am going to be writing about new experiences in model driven development soon.

The old blog (this one) will remain for a while to help people find their way to the new one.

Practical Product Lines Conference
Posted in:
On October 20 and 21, the Practical Product Lines conference will be held for the first time, at the Amsterdam Krasnapolsky Hotel.
At this conference around 20 speakers will present their practical experience with the development and deployment of Software Product Lines from different angles.
Speakers include Jan Bosch (Intuit), Markus Voelter, Dieter Rombach (Fraunhofer) en Dirk Jan Schwagerman (FEI).
I will be chairing the closing panel of the conference, during which we hope to get rid of a few of the myths that exist around product lines and which keep companies from applying them.

New company
Posted in: World
I’m involved in the start up of a new company, that is going to help consultants and other independent ‘workers’ find new assignments, without having to pay the ridiculous fees requested by the agencies they work with now.
It’s all in Dutch because we focus on The Netherlands initially, but check the announcement in the 3rd edition of our Consultants United newsletter if you are interested: http://www.consultants-united.nl

Agile and model driven development
Posted in: Architecture The-architect
Erik Philippus has invited me to address the issue of how model driven development relates to agile development, in his upcoming Masterclass Agile Architecting. That’s going to be interesting and fun!

Code Generation 2009 - Day 3
Posted in: Code-generation Modeling
This third day at Code Generation is a short one for me – due to my flight schedule I will have to skip the closing panel.br /However, it’s been another useful day. The first session this morning was part 2 of Markus Völter and Steven Kelly’s key note. A number of interesting observations regarding model decomposition, integration and partitioning where the main part, again interleaved with worst practise examples.
After the keynote, I joined the Xtext workshop, to get my first hands on experience with textual DSLs. It’s promising, and it’s clear that there are (partly) disjoint domains that may benefit from graphical or textual DSLs. At the same time, textual DSLs require some getting used to for graphical modelers like me. Thanks to the good people from itemis I have take my first steps, and will be using the two types of DSLs in parallel, and if necessary in combination in the future.
I can only close by recommending everyone with an interest in model driven development and code generation (you can do that without creating metamodels as well!!) to join next year’s edition.
