Abstract. In an ongoing effort to reduce development costs in spite of
increasing system complexity, Motorola has been a long-time adopter
of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) practices. The foundation of this
approach is the creation of rigorous models throughout the development
process, thereby enabling the introduction of automation. In this paper
we present our experiences within Motorola in deploying a top-down
approach to MDE for more than 15 years. We describe some of the key
competencies that have been developed and the impact of MDE within
the organization. Next we present some of the main issues encountered
during MDE deployment, together with some possible resolutions.
