MDA

  • Model driven architecture effectively defines a philosophy and loose process for developing systems.
  • It is model-centric, everything is a model: system, requirements, platform, the transformations that are used to move from one model to another.
  • System models are separated into two parts:
    • Platform independent.
    • Platform dependent.
  • Mappings and transformations are needed to include platform specific details - they should be modelled to.

MDA Models

PIM

  • Platform Independent Model.
    • Formal specifications of a system (business and service model) that abstracts away technical detail.
    • e.g. a Billing System in UML.
  • "Model once, generate everywhere."

PSM

  • Platform Specific Model.
    • Business and Service Model expressed in terms of the specification model of the platform.
    • e.g. a Billing System expressed in UML Profile for CORBA.

Platform Model

  • Model of platform component constructs e.g. of Eiffel, C#, EJB etc.
