if the answeris yes
can you provide me a description to this aproach
All IBM model driven engineering tools are based on Eclipe Modeling Framework (EMF). EMF is platform specific to the Eclipse/OSGI/Java platform. However most IBM/rational tooling, as well for other platforms such as Cobol is done in this way.
"Manifest" is commonly used as a name for some meta-data files in this technical context, which descrribes the wiring of OSGI components. Thus every IBM MDE approach will proably deal with it.
Whether IBM markets an MDE approach under the name "manifeste" is not known to me.
what about this paper of Bézivin
http://www.irisa.fr/triskell/publis/2004/Jezequel04e.pdf
The paper you quote makes reference to the article "An MDA Manifesto". In this case, Manifesto is just what everybody know a manifesto is, i.e. a written statement that describes the policies, goals, and opinions of a person or group (in this case about MDA). MDA is the OMG's MDE propposal.
If this is a reference to IBM's "MDA Manifesto" document, I can say, as one of its primary authors that it is a very old document and almost certainly not a representation of IBM's current strategy in the MDA space - if it ever was.
To be clear, I am no longer working for IBM, but I am familiar with their approach to MDA through some close interactions with them on several projects. From that, it seems that IBM is greatly diminishing its participation in model-driven engineering. For example, its Rational division, once the world's leading source of tools for MDA (RSA, Rhapsody, etc.), is actually discontinuing support for some of them and transferring the technology to other players for others (not very reassuring for the users of these tools).
Consequently, I strongly doubt that IBM would now be attempting to revive their MDA strategy. IBM tend to invest in technologies that produce high profit margins. Unfortunately, MDA tools do not fit into that category, especially since there are competitive open-source tools, such as Papyrus, that are now available for free.
Thank you Ana funes.
Thank you dear Bran selec for your beneficial information
