Abstract

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is widely used in safety critical software development. The software model serves as the core of MDE, used for expressing software requirements, architectural design, and behavioral design. Formal verification conducted on the software model to ensure correctness, following which code is generated based on the model. Traditional MDE faces challenges such as low efficiency in model construction, high cost of secure code generation, and limited performance in model verification.

Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged with remarkable language proficiency and code understanding & generating capabilities. When software models meet AI, we anticipate that AI will be able to address the bottleneck issues encountered in MDE.

This talk will explore the convergence of intelligent methods with software modeling, code generation, and formal verification. It will also offer insights into the prospects of model-driven development environments leveraging novel intelligent systems, and report some of our recent exploration of in these areas.
