Introduction to the MDA Reference Model

CompuwareCorporation 5

What is the the MDA Reference Model A definition of the very basic concepts in

MDA and their relations

A class model

– defined using only common modeling constructs that are shared by UML and MOF

All MDA examples are instances of the MDA reference model

– where the MDA examples can include all meta levels, all modeling languages and all technologies

CompuwareCorporation 6

What is it good for ? Captures existing MDA knowledge

Provides a basis for common understanding

Is a reference model to compare different MDA flavors / approaches

Exposes errors in what is being defined about MDA

Exposes deficiencies in what is being defined about MDA

CompuwareCorporation 7

Plans for usages in the future The current version is a draft draft in

progress

It will be a fundamental part of a new version of the MDA Reference Guide

The AB will hopefully use it as a part of a new version of the OMA

CompuwareCorporation 8

Requirements and Design rules

Vendor and MDA flavor neutral UML oriented, profiling, mark-ups, MOF oriented, family of

languages, Executable UML, …

Not a classification scheme of the different levels of abstraction, nor the different purposes of modeling languages

Precise yet not more formal then understandable

Layered: based on a kernel that is extended to more complex concepts

Rigid appreciation of the semantics of the used class model constructs of MOF and UML

CompuwareCorporation 9

Who are creating it? The ORMSC is mandated by the AB to

develop a draft MDA Reference Model

Within the ORMSC a colorful palate of different MDA vendors are active

We develop one MDA Reference Model that does not exclude any MDA flavor

We are having a lot of fun !
