SOA and MDA: Service-Oriented and Model-Driven Strategies After The Hype – The Reality

30.03.2006 – Dusseldorf

The OMG Information Days offers a vendor-independent information platform for the provision of comprehensive and expert information on current IT subjects. The focus is always on concepts, methods, tools and standards that promote the quality and security of software development. As a partner of the OMG, the OMG Information Days guarantee both timeliness and exclusivity as the German-language OMG platform.

SOA and MDA

The large amount of attention being given to service-oriented architectures (SOA) presents software engineering with new challenges. Good experience has been gained over the past few years with Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) to partially or fully generate, or at least to derive, software from models.

There are still a wide range of questions to be answered, however, including:

• What are the basic approaches and trends?
• What are the real success factors?
• What should organisations do when they are just starting to learn about the technology?
• What tools and frameworks exist?
• How is the architecture developed when using a model-driven approach?
• How do model-driven software development and service-oriented architectures fit together?

The OMG Information Days provide answers to these and related questions and are targeted at project leaders, decision makers, IT management and technology strategists.

Model-Driven Service Enablement

Rüdiger Schilling, Chief Technology Officer at Delta Software Technology will be presenting at the OMG Information Days 2006 on Model-Driven Service Enablement. He is an active participant in various OMG task forces and regularly represents Delta Software Technology at international conferences.

Delta has a 30-year track record of successfully delivering advanced software generator technology to Europe’s leading organisations. Building on this experience, Rüdiger Schilling will explain in his presentation “Model-Driven Service Enablement“ the problems that arise, especially those associated with the different application architectures, and show why generators based on MDA simplify the creation of a SOA.

Further Information

More information on this event, Rüdiger Schilling’s presentation and the Delta stand at the accompanying exhibition will be available on the Delta Web site here shortly. We will also keep you informed via this Delta newsletter and the new RSS feeds. In the meantime, please make space in your calendar to visit on 30th March, 5th April or 6th April. We look forward to seeing your there!
