ReMoDeL

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE): is the idea that, in future, software systems will not be constructed by writing lines of program code, but at a higher level of abstraction, using appropriate design models.

Program-It-Yourself (PIY): is the idea that, in future, business end-users should be able to specify the kinds of systems that they need, using domain-specific languages tailored to express their requirements directly.

Scrap-Heap Challenge (SHC): is the idea that, in future, software will be cannibalised from existing systems, but not at the code-level, rather at the model-level, from which new systems will be automatically generated.

Self-Verification and Test (SVT): is the idea that, in future, models will be correct-by-construction, and generated code will be automatically tested against the models, and be self-monitoring for correct runtime behaviour.

Hit the Moving Target (HMT): is the idea that the software tools and methods used to assemble systems will be agile and flexible enough to achieve all the above, while the system's requirements are constantly changing.

Business as Usual (BAU): is the idea that, no matter what changes are made to the system, business data will be kept safe and there will be no interruptions to normal service.
