Goals, Concepts and Benefits of Architecture-Driven Modernization

“Scalable Software Systems and Solutions” is the motto of the OOP 2006, taking place from the 16th to 20th January 2006 in Munich, Germany. The focus of the presentations is architectures and concepts that offer more flexibility and interoperability for the development of modern application systems.

With this in mind we would particularly recommend the presentation on “Architecture-Driven Modernization”:

Architecture-Driven Modernization (NMI3)

Goals – Concepts – Benefits

Rüdiger Schilling, Delta Software Technology

Night School Wednesday, 18th January 2006, 18:30 – 20:00

What Lies Behind These Buzzwords?

The continual modernization of the application systems is a decisive factor for commercial success. The tasks that are involved in this are as diverse as the potential solutions. To support the analysis, transformation and generation of modernization projects, and the interoperability of the necessary tools, the new OMG “Architecture-Driven Modernization” Task Force is developing new open standards that build on the MDA strategy.

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

Rüdiger Schilling 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.

The presentation will cover the following main topics:

• What is the content and current status of the new OMG standards for Architecture-Driven Modernization?
• 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?
