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

Rüdiger Schilling, Chief Technology Officer at Delta Software Technology will be presenting at the OMG Information Days 2006 generative approaches to service enablement that really work. Rüdiger Schilling is an active participant in various OMG task forces and regularly represents Delta Software Technology at international conferences.

Efficient Service Enablement Using Models and Generators

Service Enablement closes the gap between the business processes and “data processing”. It is hereby necessary to unify the extremely diverse architectures, development paradigms, platforms etc for the existing applications, to enable the cost effective reuse and consistent further development within the context of a flexible SOA.

Even when the technical details might suggest that the problem can be solved by using simple low-level technical tools, the overall scope, quality requirements and security needs clearly call for a model-based approach. Generative tools based on the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) and Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) are needed to keep up with change driven by agile business processes.

The presentation explains the tasks and obstacles that need to be overcome during service enablement, and presents concepts and tools that help to reach the SOA goal quicker and more securely.
