A Platform-Independent Model (PIM) in software engineering is a model of a software system or business system, that is independent of the specific technological platform used to implement it. The term platform-independent model is most frequently used in the context of the model-driven architecture approach.Platform independent is program running on different processors like intel, AMD, Sun Micro Systems etc.; This model-driven architecture approach corresponds the Object Management Group vision of Model Driven Engineering. The main idea is that it should be possible to use a Model Transformation Language to transform a Platform-independent model into a Platform-specific model. In order to achieve this transformation, one can use a language compliant to the newly defined QVT standard. Examples of such languages are VIATRA or ATLAS Transformation Language. It means execution of the program is not restricted by the type of o/s used ~

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
