Explore Model-Driven Development (MDD) and Related Approaches: A Closer Look at Model-Driven Development and Other Industry Initiatives

Tags:
programming languages

Overview In this paper, one discovers how the OMG's MDA initiative is working to formalize the ideas of MDD and to provide standards in support of the approach. One explores the term MDD, which refers to a development approach that is broadly in line with the formal MDA under development at the OMG. MDD also has much in common with other initiatives, such as Microsoft's Software Factories and domain-specific languages. Although there are important differences between these approaches, such as the significance of standards to MDD, they also have many similarities. Visualization of existing artifacts as UML models can be a step toward adopting a UML approach. It achieves some of the benefits of model-driven development, but in a very limited manner.
