My provocative message at the panel was that: Modeling is dead! In the sense we cannot expect We should move to Un-Modeling Practices, that is: remove modelling as a tool for everybody, using modelling tools as experts, and let people enjoy only the little bit they deserve, without forcing MDD frameworks, which are usually not easily accepted Modeling should be used under the hood and each actor should be shown the proper tool (including programmers, who are not easily buying the model-driven approaches at all) This will not be possible until language and tool designers will be software engineers only (just think at the terrible modelling tools we are able to build). I think all this poses extremely complex challenges to the modelling and software engineering community. It's up to us to keep up with these challenges, or become obsolete (aka. remain a very small niche in the software development world).
