Monolitic solutions to service automation problems have long prevailed. OMG's Model Driven Architectures and Microsoft's Software Factories have now made commonplace the understanding, that small domain specific solution models must be developed for specialized vertical and horizontal markets, or organizational, cultural, and geographic specializations thereof.

Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), which capture the service automation knowledge of a specialized domain, are central both for Model Driven Architectures and Software Factories. Montages provides for a coherent, platform-independent Domain Specific Language design and implementation model throughout an enterprise.

Montages is based on the intuitive idea of XML + UML = executable XML, which is generalized to XML Schemas, leading to precisely defined, executable Domain Specific Languages. This simple idea is implemented as an orthogonal extension of OMG standards such as MDA, MOF, and UML, and their corresponding Eclipse implementations such as EMF.

• An innovative, intuitive, and scaling methodology to make XML executable is the core of Montages' technology offer. [more]
• Montages DSL technology has evolved from 8 years of scientific and industrial research and case studies. [more]
• Model Driven Architectures (MDA) provides a number of standards which serve as foundation for Montages. [more]
• The main differentiator of Montages is the possibility to distribute both languages and processes. [more]
