03.04.2006 How AOD Can Help MDA Weaving the Ultimate Enterprise Architecture with Aspect Oriented Design Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a technique for deriving a platform-independent modeling solution, which approaches the ideal of iterative, dynamically evolving, scalable and interoperable enterprise domain abstraction. Static mapping between models is not difficult, but in the real world, within an agile iterative environment, defining models for concerns and domains, maintaining the traceability matrix of all modified models and synchronizing them in actual applications is the most fundamental problem with MDA. This article discusses how the modularization and weaving concepts of Aspect-Oriented Design (AOD) can encourage the evolution of MDA-based enterprise architecture.		03.04.2006 OptimalJ - Delivering on the Essence of MDA Balancing Productivity and Flexibility Wim Bast, Chief Architect Compuware, describes OptimalJ and how it delivers on the essence of Model Driven Architecture (MDA), to allow a balance between productivity and flexibility.

03.04.2006 The Essence of Model Driven Architecture Wim Bast, Chief Architect Compuware, outlines the essence of Model Driven Architecture Model Driven Architecture (MDA) has enjoyed high visibility since its formal announcement by the Object Management Group (OMG) in March 2001. In three short years, well over 40 companies have come forward with software products said to implement MDA; while a smaller, but significant, number of success stories demonstrate that there really is something to this striking new concept.
