  1. Model Driven Architecture in the Enterprise Amit, Keyur, Sabhay and Saleh

  2. Model Driven Architecture in the Enterprise • Introduction to MDA • The Role of UML in MDA • Introduction to EDOC • Other Enterprise Modeling Approaches • Modeling Tools Supporting MDA • Project Current Status

  3. Modification in Our Scope • Objective Before: • Evaluate EDOC, apply it to a test • Objective Now, to answer the questions • How far is UML and MDA related/consistent? • What kind of support do modeling tools do for MDA/EDOC? • How far is the EDOC from today’s enterprise modeling practices and tools market?

  4. Introduction to MDA • Abstraction: A Historical Lesson • MDA: Why? • MDA: How? • MOF: MDA’s Genie

  5. MDA: Model-Driven Architecture • Historic Lessons • More Abstraction • More Reuse • More Productivity • Less Maintenance Cost • Model Driven Architecture • Use Patterns at Multiple Levels of Abstraction Machine Language Assembly Language 3GL Languages Model Driven Architecture

  6. Model-Driven Architecture: Why • Platform-independent Modeling • Rapidly Changing Technology • Applications Spanning Multiple Platforms • Viewpoints-Based Modeling • Different abstractions for the same system • Different models for the same system • Issues • Consistency? • Changeability?

  7. Model-Driven Architecture: How • Metamodels • Modeling modeling languages • Open-ended modeling capability • Technology Mappings • Transformation Rules • From modeling language to technology

  8. OMF: MDA’s Genie • Modeling Language for Defining Virtually Any Modeling Languages • Intersects with UML Syntactically & Semantically • Tools interchange meta models via XMI • Tools transform platform-independent models • Generate platform-specific models or implementation

  9. UML’s Role in MDA • History of UML • Early 1990s – Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) had three groups • Rumbaugh • Booch • Jacobson • In 1996 – Creation of Universal Modeling Language (UML) v. 1.1

  10. UML’s Role in MDA (UML 1.x) • Strengths: • Separation of Abstract Syntax from Concrete Syntax • Meta-model • Enables Extensibility • UML Profiles

  11. UML’s Role in MDA (cont.) • Strengths: • Support for Platform Independent models • Defines relationships without details of implementation • Open System • Custom plug-ins

  12. UML’s Role in MDA (cont.) • Weaknesses: • Lack of support for component based modeling • Unsatisfactory results • Lack of communication • No means of inter-tool communication • UML and MOF not in synch • Problems for developers

  13. UML 2.0 • Many UML 1.x Weaknesses Resolved • New set of structural and behavioral diagram • Support for component-based modeling • Composite Structures • UML and MOF • Inconsistencies have been corrected • Improved Behavioral Modeling • Action model • Better Communication • Interchange specification using XML

  14. Enterprise Distributed Object Computing • Based on the MDA concept • Specific meta models for enterprise modeling • Benefits from ISO ODP-RM viewpoints

  15. Other Approaches TOGAF Zachman IDEF C4ISR, TEAF Other Enterprise Modeling Approaches

  16. TOGAF Framework

  17. The Zachman Framework

  18. IDEF& TEAF • IDEF (for Integrated Definition) • Modeling methods used to describe Enterprise Operations. • Creation of the United States Air Force, now being developed by Knowledge Based Systems. • Sixteen methods, from IDEF0 to IDEF14 (and including IDEF1X), are each designed to capture a particular type of information through modeling processes . • The Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework (TEAF) • Developed by the Department of the Treasury in response to a number of government directives.

  19. C4ISR • Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance was started in 1995 by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (ASD, C31) formed the C4I Integration Support Activity (CISA) to develop a unified approach for development and evaluation of information and architectures Various Views of C4ISR

  20. Modeling Tools Supporting MDA What is considered an MDA supported tool? • Is the model on the highest level of abstraction ? • Are the transformation definitions maintainable by you? • Do transformations generate a majority of the application? • Do transformations support incremental and iterative modeling and development?

  21. Tools supporting MDA Component-X by Data Advanced Technology • Seems to be the official EDOC tool. • A triple standards alignment with ebXML, EDOC and EAI to become component model for XML web services. • EDOC has been implemented in Component-X. • Component-X and the EDOC Component Collaboration Architecture are part of the UML family of languages. • Supports integrating applications across platforms, technologies, Internet and the enterprise.

  22. Tools supporting MDA OpenMDX: An Advanced MDA Framework • Advanced implementation of the MDA initiative. • Industrial-strength, model-driven runtime engine, open, and framework for PIMs. • OpenMDX provides a generic, distributed object engine which serves as a PIM platform. Rhapsody by I-Logix • One of the market leading UML 2.0 Model-Driven Development • Focuses on the needs of the embedded developer and fully supports the concepts of MDA

  23. Tools supporting MDA The TAU Generation2 Approach to MDA • Based on UML 2.0 to substantially improve software productivity and quality. • Automate the transformation of a PIM requirements into a PSM ExecutableUML (xUML) • Creation of PIM with the UML diagrams. • Multiple Executable UML models can be assembled together to form complex systems

  24. Timeline • Conception and Background (9/19 – 10/21) • MDA, MOF, UML, EDOC, Tools, other Architectures. • Criteria for MDA-Tools Evaluation: (-11/4) • Develop and finalize guidelines for tool evaluation • Evaluation of Tools and Techniques (-11/27) • Try selected MDA-tools • Try EDOC and related methods • Delivery: Final Report (–12/4) • Final reports with conclusions and future outlook

  25. Task Distribution • So far: • Introduction to MDA, MOF, EDOC by Saleh • Role of UML in MDA by Amit • Survey of Tools supporting MDA by Keyur • Enterprise modeling methodologies by Sabhay • Future Tasks: • Develop MDA-Tool Evaluation guidelines • Analysis of one tool by each team member • (Tentative) Compare EDOC and other Enterprise Modeling Methodologies
