Hi Kenneth, Thanks for that - the new text helps somewhat, although as a naive (EMF-wise) reader I'm still unclear on the advantages for critical applications. In a past life I've worked on wildfire modelling, including reviewing software used for real-time fire incident management, so I've been trying to relate your description to that context. The way I read your text, EMF is favoured because it can increase system reliability and decrease development iteration time. What I'm missing is what you can do with that approach that you can't do otherwise, or perhaps can't do nearly as well. In particular, the connection with temporal data remains unclear.
If you could point me to any examples or references that speak to this I'd be very interested, but don't waste any time labouring further over the proposal because I'm just asking out of curiosity.
