This diagram shows the underlying Framework that will guide the Users through the process of listening to a Presentation on a Concept, such as the <B>Information Agenda</B>, and then adopting the Concept by following a Tutorial-type series of structured Steps.
<BR><BR>This will produce Generic Specifications and finally these will be translated into Specifications tailored for IBM products.
<BR><BR>This example assumes that the <B>IBM Foundation Toolkit</B> is linked to the implementation of the ‘Information Agenda’ concept.
<BR>If this is not appropriate, the same principle holds true.
<BR><BR>In 2004, IBM (Hursley) was working on a <A HREF="http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/mtf" TARGET=_NEW>Model Transformation Framework</A> based around UML, Rational and Java.
<BR><BR>The problem of translating Functional Specifications to Product-Specific Specifications is also being addressed in a research environment.
<BR><B>A Model Transformation Framework</B> called <A HREF="http://www.ict-diva.eu/DiVA/diva-work-packages/work-packages/wp2/" TARGET=_NEW><B>Diva</B></A> is being developed in Europe.
<BR><A HREF="http://www.hcltech.com/application-portfolio-optimization/transformation-frameworks/" TARGET=_NEW>HCL's Transformation Framwork</A> may be interesting.
