Model driven architecture - foundations and applications

Más información sobre el libro

The fifth edition of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA 2009) aimed to advance knowledge and promote the industrialization of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). MDA, initiated by the Object Management Group, supports platform-generic systems development, while MDE encompasses a broader range of model-centric approaches. Both methodologies emphasize the use of models for specifying, designing, analyzing, synthesizing, deploying, and evolving complex software systems. The conference covered various MDA topics, including model transformations, modeling language issues, behavior and time modeling, traceability, scalability, model-based embedded systems engineering, and the application of model-driven development in IT and networking systems. ECMDA-FA 2009 fostered dialogue among key European and international researchers and practitioners, aiming to enhance industry efficiency and produce more reliable software grounded in cutting-edge research. This conference served as a vital forum for exchanging information, discussing recent findings, and debating future developments in MDA and MDE, uniquely bridging the gap between leading academic researchers and industry professionals to create synergies.
