Platform-independent model

A platform-independent model (PIM) in software engineering is a model of a software system or business system that is independent of the specific technological platform used to implement it.

The term platform-independent model is most frequently used in the context of the model-driven architecture approach. This model-driven architecture approach corresponds to the Object Management Group vision of model-driven engineering.

The main idea is that it should be possible to use a model transformation language to transform a platform-independent model into a platform-specific model. In order to achieve this transformation, one can use a language compliant to the newly defined QVT standard. Examples of such languages are VIATRA or ATLAS Transformation Language. It means execution of the program is not restricted by the type of operating system used.

gollark: Is there a recording of the thing anywhere or just the notes document?
gollark: It might actually be useful to have some kind of neural network file format detector for bad formats without clear headers. Or to help recover damaged files.
gollark: Can't wait for the `file` command to take several seconds of heavy GPU load.
gollark: You would still want to have information about the geese though.
gollark: I think a useful component of AGI would be being able to efficiently offload subtasks to specialised algorithms instead of just doing them inefficiently in neural networks, but I have no idea if this is very practical or anyone's doing it.
