The session presents a complete model driven development (MDD) case study developed for a bank in Spain. It will cover the goals of the project, development stages, technologies used, problems and best practices learned and economic rationale.

More than 2000 banking functions in the financial terminal implemented in VB 5.0, C++ and proprietary runtime needed to be ported to C#. A full MDD approach was taken to alleviate maintenance costs and to mitigate the risk and cost of future technology migrations.

Pedro J. Molina has been working on code generation, MDD, MDA, software patterns and user interface patterns for the last ten years. He is currently a Software Architect for Capgemini Spain in the design and construction of a custom Software Factory (PISA) for a Spanish bank.

Pedro has a PhD from the Technical University of Valencia (UPV) for work on “User Interfaces: from requirements to automatic code generation.” After graduating he worked for R&D spin-off CARE-Technologies specialising in creating MDA tools and complete code generators for business applications based on conceptual modelling. Pedro has published more than twenty research papers & two books.
