Model Driven Architecture (MDA)

Real-Life MDA: Solving Business Problems with Model Driven Architecture
by Guttman, Michael, Parodi, John
Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews.
Customer Review: I read this book skipping over technical and theoretical excerpts and focusing on the 'project experience' part of every case study. This book confirms to me that MDA is finding its way into IT reality, graduating the approach from what's probable to what's possible, from phenomenon to ontic. The format, style, and presentation are e...

Enterprise Patterns and MDA: Building Better Software with Archetype Patterns and UML
by Jim Arlow, Ila Neustadt
Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews.
Customer Review: Nominally, this book presents "archetype patterns", using UML and an extended case study. The archetype idea, intermediate between a general design pattern and a specific application, is a valuable one. In the case study, it's a set of business meta-objects, operations, and organizing principles. In presenting the archetype abstracti...

Model-Driven Architecture in Practice: A Software Production Environment Based on Conceptual Modeling
by Pastor, Oscar, Molina, Juan Carlos
Average Customer Review: based on 1 review.
Customer Review: This book was packed with information. The authors call their approach the OO-Method and the first part of 50 pages puts the OO-Method into its historical perspective and in true scholarly fashion gives credit to others where credit is due. If you have been around for a few years you can probably lightly gaze over this section. The se...

MDA Explained: The Model Driven Architecture(TM): Practice and Promise
by Anneke Kleppe, Jos Warmer, Wim Bast
Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Customer Review: There have been many talks about MDA, but none as "complete" as this book. Granted that MDA is still under development and who knows what will actually happen to it when it is actually released, the authors of this book do an extraordinary job explaining what MDA is at its current stage and what areas might still change for the bette...

MDA Distilled
by Stephen J. MELLOR, Kendall Scott, Axel Uhl, Dirk Weise
Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.
Customer Review: Model-driven architecture (MDA) is a potential next level of abstraction in the production of software. The principle is that the solution to the problem is expressed using a modeling language, which is then translated by a model compiler into source code. That source code is then converted into executable code. The potential for inc...

Executable UML: A Foundation for Model-Driven Architecture
by Stephen J. Mellor, Marc J. Balcer
Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Customer Review: Two events at the Object-Oriented Systems, Languages, and Applications Conference of 1996 were memorable for me. The first was the opening address given by one of the more insightful architects/designers of the 20th century, Christopher Alexander. And the second was a debate between Stephen Mellor (one of the authors of this book) an...

Model Driven Architecture: Applying MDA to Enterprise Computing
by Frankel, David S.
Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Customer Review: I have had the pleasure of working with David Frankel for a number of years on Object Management Group efforts, so I expected a lot from this book. I wasn't disappointed. Dave has written a clear, pragmatic guide to what MDA is and, more importantly, what really can (and cannot) be practically accomplished with MDA today. He unerring...

Model Driven Architecture with Executable UML
by Chris Raistrick, Paul Francis, John Wright
Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews.
Customer Review: Bad news first. For building executable UML models they use Action Specification Language (ASL). ASL is not a part of UML standards. Not so bad news - "Action Semantics for the UML" (OMG ad/01-08-04) imposed as an "unofficial OMG standard". Not by me, but by Anneke Kleppe, if you know, who is this person. And the "Action Semantics .....

Convergent Architecture: Building Model Driven J2EE Systems with UML
by Richard Hubert
Average Customer Review: based on 13 reviews.
Customer Review: I started this book with no anticipation of the treat in store. Having read it, I have to say that if you're interested in significantly improving software development efficiency, and you read only one book this year, then this is it! It's a "must read" for any software engineer, architect, or manager involved in boosting "time to m...
