One of the key points in Model-Driven Development is
to provide a semantic anchoring that permits to design
an application based on some common semantics but at
the same time independently of the specific
characteristics of the final platform.
This paper proposes a common meta-model capable of
holding both state machine and data flow semantics,
two of the most used behaviour models. This is done so
that application behaviour can be described
independently of the specific platform. The application
behaviour can be based on the semantics of this meta-
model while at the same time code can be generated for
several specific platforms without changing the
application design.
