Category:Application Provisioning Engine

We coined the generic term Application Provisioning to subsume the activities of code generators, model interpreters, model transformators, model compilers and alike to be able to refer to a functional software category without having to name the specific choice of technology or concrete implementation.

The purpose of such software is simply to take a rather abstract ("domain related") model, like an industry/enterprise specific UML model, and provide a full-fledged application from it - with which means whatsoever.

It is conceivable, in fact already partially possible, not to mention desirable to use such a provisioning engine without knowing about that implementation and be able to exchange implementation according to your needs (performance, flexibility etc.).
