Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is the new, standards based approach to the architecture and design of systems. MDA describes how to create standards based, technology independent models of business concepts, and then map them to different specific technologies. Many leading tools are now supporting generation capabilities based on MDA models. This session offers an overview of MDA concepts, techniques and tools and provides an example starting from a business model and working down to generated code.

As model-based approaches to development gain momentum (MDA and MBD), tool vendors are getting in line to claim support. Some tools offer compliance with standards and substantial generation capabilities, while others are just jumping on the marketing bandwagon. Concurrently, different tools support different approaches and methodologies that may, or may not, align with your development organization. Few tools cover the full development lifecycle from business requirements to executable code. Rosen will explore the issues of methodology, model translation, generation capabilities, etc., to help you cut through the hype and evaluate modeling and generation tools for your particular needs.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) concepts are influencing all areas of application design and deployment. Virtualization technologies and concepts will change user interaction and presentation methods, developer design methodologies, and run-time execution. Using the day’s presentations as a starting point, a Burton Group analyst will lead this panel of vendors in a discussion of the obstacles to achieving virtualization, from development through deployment, and what businesses need vendors to do in order to remove those obstacles.

Take part in this introduction to how the insurance industry provides input to UN/CEFACT and OMG Standards, and hear about the work of the UN/CEFACT Harmonization Group. This group combines input from various business domain groups worldwide into one unified dictionary, along with a controlled vocabulary to create consistent terminology.

The recent popularity in web services has brought renewed interest to Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). Although SOA is not new, it was previously limited to a very few leading-edge organizations. Now, the mainstream adoption of web services and the recent advances in Business Process Management (BPM) techniques and tools make SOA accessible to everyone. SOA is not a technology, however. It is an architecture for applying different technologies to create an environment where business services can be independently developed and combined into higher value business processes.
This class will explain the basic concepts of SOA and compare it to other architectures. Then, it will describe how to implement an SOA with a variety of different technologies including .NET, J2EE, and Web Services. Finally, it will describe how to build applications based on the service oriented architecture, infrastructure and framework.

Standards spur competition, choice, vendor independence, best practices and innovations. The standardization of UML brought great changes to the field of modeling and created a wide variety of tools. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) with UML is the new, standards based approach to the architecture and design of systems and has the potential to impact modeling as much as the standardization of UML itself. MDA has been adopted as an initiative by industry leaders including Microsoft and IBM. MDA describes how to create standards based, technology independent models of business concepts, and then map them to different specific technologies. Many leading tools are now supporting generation capabilities based on MDA models. This BOF will describe an overview of MDA concepts, techniques and tools and provides an example starting from a business model and working down to generated code.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is experiencing increased acceptance and use in IT organizations today. This is partly due to mandates for compliance with architecture and the growing complexity of the enterprise. IT systems can no longer be developed in isolation, but must fit into a larger context that meets the goals of the overall business. EA defines that context and the rules and guidelines for conformance. Unfortunately, many development projects and organizations are unaccustomed to following the rules, thus stressing the new IT Architectural models being developed. But wait, MDA to the rescue! MDA provides a standards based approach to defining enterprise architecture. Additionally, MDA tools can provide a mechanism to automatically incorporate the architecture into the development process.
This tutorial will present the concepts and process of defining and implementing enterprise architecture using MDA.

Enterprise Architectures are increasingly built around a supporting framework. The Zachman Framework is one of the most used in industry and government today. MDA is a different kind of architectural framework. So how do these fit together?
This presentation will explain how MDA can be used to implement and complement the Zachman Framework for enterprise architecture.
