planet-mde is the web portal for the research and education community in the area of Model Driven Engineering (aka MDE, MDA, MDD, MDSE, MDSD, MD*, DSL, DSM, GP, ...).

We are working on a new version of this web site (for quite long now !!!), but the fact that nothing is visible does not mean that we are sleeping or resting. Just wait and see. Sometimes patience is worth.

There are other companion web portals covering more specific topics, but we believe that planet-mde gather the largest amount of information available and provided it in a useful way. Moreover planet-mde is independent from any institution, project, team, country, technology, etc. We have nothing to sell. Everything is free ;-)

Topics

• (Domain) Modeling,
  
• Metamodeling,
  
• Software Language Engineering,
  
• Program and Model Transformation,
  
• Generative Programming, 

and more generally all Software Engineering techniques based on the notions of model, language, metamodel and transformation.

 Features 

• BY and FOR the community. This portal is a Research 2.0 initiative. planet-mde is indeed a tool for Communittee Engineering: making people meet, making people communicate, making people happy, making the community advance. Advancing together.
• truely open and focused. All kinds of information are suitable for publication on planet-mde (in any kind of language, see below), as long as the information is relevant to the Model Driven Engineering community. planet-mde, and in particular the planet-mde mailing list is dedicated to MDE. This precise focus helps in providing best value for MDE afficionados. 
• refers all other portals. This is a key feature of planet-mde. Most other portals are technology-based, or team-based, or conference-based, or standard-based,  or something-based, and sometimes-biased. Refering to all other portals is always a good mean to ensure global information dissemination. Many portals provide very good value and interestingly address MDE topics from different perspectives (see the "Web portals " section). 
• independent. planet-mde is not linked to a particular tool, conference, team or standardization body. The sole goal of planet-mde is to enable the communittee to share and build knowledge about Model Driven Engineering. For instance it gather together information about hundreds of conferences and hundreds of tools, information that would be difficult.
• the most important source of information about Model Driven Engineering. This is certainly true. You can check by yourself. Again, planet-mde not only contains a lot of information but it also refers to thousands of web sites, and interstingly it refers to all related portals.
• truely international. Contributions to planet-mde have been received so far from more than 80 people from 24 different countries from all over the Earth, but this is just a beginning...
