As an example of a model-driven process with simple source and target models, consider our banking application with J2EE as its implementation platform. In this case, you will have to formalize the knowledge of the bank in a model, and then build a bridge from the Bank model to J2EE.
In general, of course, it's not quite as simple as having a single source model and a single preselected target implementation model. Rather, a typical system will comprise several platforms, and this means that there will be potentially several utilizations of the pair of high-level activities described above, not just one.
