An event-based framework for model integration

Modern driven development (MDD) defines a new approach to develop software system other than programming. MDD emphasizes the model level design by defining the specifications for a software system, and uses automatic tools to generate implementations on specific platforms. In the MDD process, many separate views and models are specified for different parts of the system. In the ZOOM notation, which is a formal notation we proposed to enhance the existing modeling notations and support MDD, the structural, behavioral and UI models are three components for a software model. In this paper, we present a pre-defined event model, processed through an event-driven framework, which integrates these views, and provides the run-time execution model for ZOOM
