We had a very active audience and thus could not answer all the questions during the 20min Q&A session. While hoping many of the main issues were handled please find here replies to the specific question in a bit more detail.

A video file (WMV format) of the recording of Dr. Steven Kelly's 17 November 2009 webinar on "Domain-Specific Modeling: 76 use cases that work"  is now available for download at

Lancaster University runs a project on assessing Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) practices. They want to document what factors lead some companies to succeed with MDE whereas others may fail. You can participate by filling a survey (takes 15 minutes) at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FGFTS38. Details of the reserach project is available at http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~eamde 

Really interesting discussion on the model driven software site:

http://www.modeldrivensoftware.net/forum/topics/continuous-integration-process

Why do many MDD approaches fail or only produce marginal improvements, when others consistently improve productivity by a factor of 5-10? We analyzed 76 cases of Domain-Specific Modeling, spanning 15 years and 4 continents, to find the set of worst practices that reduced productivity and endangered project success. We'll show you the best and worst practices with practical examples, letting you make an informed decision on how to move your modeling to the next level.

Find out how to keep your designs free from implementation details, improve communication with stakeholders, and radically improve productivity and quality. Most importantly, see how DSM keeps you in the driving seat throughout, rather than locking you in to a tool vendor's choices.
