Model Driven Architecture Software and Interaction Flow Modelling Language for Tourism Data Acquisition in Colombia

The rise of the software development methodology known as Model-Driven Engineering, has allowed the many advantages of its use to be observed, while meeting the main objective of increasing a company’s profitability through an effort in software development. In the short-term it increases productivity by raising the value of first software artefacts; long-term it helps to avoid the obsolescence of primary objects of the software [1]. This way, compatibility between systems increases, the design process is simplified and communication, both among individuals and among teams working within the system, is fostered. It is for this reason that the development of a web application named OcioColombia, under the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) methodology, has been carried out. By doing this, the objectives achieved in each of the architecture’s stages can be shown; the benefits offered by the methodology can be exposed and finally, different software tools are able to be orchestrated into an application that allows the user to search for entertainment events and tourist locations available in Colombia.
