Enterprise UML & MDA 2004 May 12 & 13, 2004 – New Connaught Rooms London |
|
Software modelling techniques have been in use for at least 20 years, but it is only in the last 7 years that the proliferation of proprietary modelling languages has been superseded by tools implementing OMG's Unified Modeling Language™ (UML™). The idea of generating code from models is not a new one. However it is only recently that there have been proof of concept case studies and significant progress in developing a standard - the OMG's Model Driven Architecture™ (MDA™). This conference examines the status of the development, adoption and application of OMG's UML and MDA standards. It features both practitioners and sceptics, including presentations from Computer Associates, IBM, Microsoft, OMG, Oracle and Softeam. This conference is aimed at senior developers, analysts and designers of object and component-based systems, software development managers, modelling professionals, consultants and software architects. Conference: Attend to Philippe Desfray’s* conference on " Techniques for the early definition of MDA artifacts in a UML based development " > more information on Enterprise UML and MDA 2004, agenda and registration |
| *: Philippe Desfray, is an expert in object oriented methods, and VP for R&D for SOFTEAM, Objecteering Software's the parent company. In 1990 he created an object oriented design method, has published three books (most notably "Object Engineering - The fourth dimension", published by ADDISON WESLEY in 1994- which already contains the technology for supporting MDA), and directed the development of the Objecteering/UML Case tool. In 1994 he created "Hypergenericity", a technique closely related to UML profiles and supporting model transformation, which is a precursor of the MDA approach. Since 1994 Philippe has represented SOFTEAM as a Contributing Member at the OMG, and actively participates in the definition of UML, in particular in the UML profiles area where he has been leading the definition of the profile mechanism for UML1.4 and UML 2.0. |
