Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a new approach to software development that helps companies manage large, complex software projects and save development costs while allowing new technologies that come along to be readily incorporated. Although it is based on many long-standing industry precepts and best practices, such as UML, it is enough of a departure from traditional IT approaches to require some "proof of the pudding." Real-Life MDA is composed of six case studies of real companies using MDA that will furnish that proof. The authors' approach MDA projects by describing all aspects of the project from the viewpoint of the end-users-from the reason for choosing an MDA approach to the results and benefits. The case studies are preceded by an introductory chapter and are followed by a wrap-up chapter summarizing lessons learned.
<ul>
<li>Written for executives, analysts, architects, and engineers positioned to influence business-oriented software development at the highest levels</li>
<li>Filled with concrete examples and analyses of how MDA is relevant for organizations of various sizes</li>
<li>Considers a range of uses for MDA―from business process analysis to full-scale software modeling and development</li>
<li>Presents results for each case study in terms of tangible, measured benefits, including automatically generated code, defect reduction, improved visibility, and ROI</li>

Developing E-Business Systems &amp; Architectures is not another book on how the Internet is changing business or about the potential of e-commerce. The authors assume that their readers already understand these things. Rather, it is written for executives and managers of medium to large companies who are considering or are already engaged in transforming their companies into e-businesses, and especially for IT managers with responsibilities for designing and developing new corporate software systems. This book provides managers with a road map to help them develop a strategic plan for their own transition. It also focuses on e-business architectures and software development practices that will need to change, and how the company itself must change to accommodate software development with components. Since all transformation depends upon people, there is also an emphasis on the reorganization of IT teams to support component-based development. * Includes many case studies that the authors, all of whom have written best-selling books on e-business, have gathered from years of experience in implementing these systems. * Focuses on the changes companies must make in their IT groups to support the development of e-business initiatives. * Fully describes the enterprise component architecture framework for implementing e-business applications with an enterprise class infrastructure.
