Model driven architecture - foundations and applications

Meer over het boek

The fourth edition of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture – Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA 2008) aimed to advance knowledge and promote the industrialization of the model-driven architecture (MDA) methodology. MDA, initiated by the Object Management Group (OMG), supports platform-generic software development through the use of models in the specification, design, analysis, synthesis, deployment, and evolution of complex software systems. This conference engaged key European and international researchers and practitioners in discussions to strengthen the industry and enhance software reliability based on cutting-edge research. ECMDA-FA serves as a platform for sharing information, exploring recent findings, and debating future MDA developments. The proceedings of ECMDA-FA 2008 cover various MDA domains, including model management, executable models, validation, model-based systems engineering, and service-oriented architectures. The success of the conference is attributed to the collaboration of the Organization, Steering, and Program Committee members, as well as the vibrant community involved. ECMDA-FA 2008 received 87 submissions, with 31 accepted, comprising 21 research papers and 10 industry papers, thanks to a rigorous selection process.
