You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites. What wasn’t reported and you probably don’t know is that an object database management system (ODBMS) is an important part of the Iridium system. Even though ODBMSs are a [...]

I am now also posting on the Cutter Blog. My initial posting is (The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services. It is a response to Anne Thomas Manes’ SOA is Dead; Long Live Services on her blog at the Burton Group.

The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
As new platforms and technologies emerge, MDA enables rapid development of new specifications that use them, streamlining the process of integration.
The intent of MDA is to provide a comprehensive, structured solution for application interoperability and portability into the future.
The architecture encompasses a range of services already specified by OMG, including Directory Services, Event Handling, Persistence, Transactions, and Security. The core logic of many of these services is already available for multiple implementation technologies; for instance, Sun's J2EE platform uses Java interfaces to CORBA's
transactions and security services. MDA should make it easier and faster to design similar multiple-platform interfaces to common services.
MDA also enables the creation of standardized Domain Models for specific vertical industries. These standardized models can be realized for multiple platforms now and in the future,
presumably easing multiple platform integration issues and protecting IT investments against the uncertainty of changing fashions in platform technology.

Executable UML: A Foundation for Model-Driven Architecture by Stephen J. Mellor, Marc J. Balcer Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews. Customer Review: Two events at the Object-Oriented Systems, Languages, and Applications Conference of 1996 were memorable for me. The first was the opening address given by one of the more insightful architects/designers of the 20th century, Christopher Alexander.

MDA Explained: The Model Driven Architecture(TM): Practice and Promise by Anneke Kleppe, Jos Warmer, Wim Bast Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews. Customer Review: There have been many talks about MDA, but none as "complete" as this book. Granted that MDA is still under development and who knows what will actually happen to it when it is actually released, the authors of this book do an extraordinary job explaining what MDA is at its current stage and what areas might still change for the bette...
Enterprise Patterns and MDA: Building Better Software with Archetype Patterns and UML by Jim Arlow, Ila Neustadt Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews. Customer Review: Nominally, this book presents "archetype patterns", using UML and an extended case study. The archetype idea, intermediate between a general design pattern and a specific application, is a valuable one. In the case study, it's a set of business meta-objects, operations, and organizing principles. In presenting the archetype abstracti...

Dave has written a clear, pragmatic guide to what MDA is and, more importantly, what really can (and cannot) be practically accomplished with MDA today. He unerring...
