Goals, Concepts and Benefits of Architecture-Driven Modernization

“Scalable Software Systems and Solutions” is the motto of the next OOP, taking place from the 16th to 20th January 2006 in Munich, Germany. The conference offers a broad selection of presentations, user reports and workshops for technically-oriented software developers, method-oriented software architects and for business-oriented strategic decision makers.

Business success requires continual modernization of the existing application systems. The appropriate software architectures, standards and tools are pre-requisites for this and so play a central role at the event.

Architecture-Driven Modernization – What is it?

The continuous modernization of the existing application systems in all of modernization’s different facets – language and architecture transformation, platform migration, service-oriented integration etc. – is increasingly recognised as a decisive success factor. Modernization has now reached a level of acceptance that is at least as high as new development.

The OMG (Object Management Group) is building on MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) to create new standards for "Architecture-Driven Modernization" that address the interoperability of tools and support the analysis, transformation and generation tasks within modernization projects.

Rüdiger Schilling, Chief Technology Officer at Delta Software Technology will report on the goals, concepts and benefits of Architecture-Driven Modernization. He regularly represents Delta Software Technology at international conferences and is an active participant in the OMG "Architecture-Driven Modernization" Task Force.

• What is the content and current status of the new standards?
• How are custom “production lines” created on this basis for software modernization?
• To what extent is it possible to automate custom software modernization projects?
• What is it possible to achieve, and where are the limits?

The presentation provides planning assistance for modernization projects and is built around scenarios taken from the real-world. The presentation is aimed at IT decision makers, project managers, software architects and others who already have some experience with software architectures.
