Team Architect Microsoft’s approach is model-driven Aim is to increase the level of abstraction! But… relies on DSL’s, not generalisations Need ways to precisely model systems UML techniques don’t necessarily provide this Our approach: UML for documentation DSL’s for modeling in a way that promotes automation DSL’s for keeping things synchronised SDM is the schema underlying this effort Microsoft Australia Security Summit
