Model Driven Architecture: Applying MDATM to Enterprise Computing

* Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a new methodologyf rom OMG that uses modeling languages like UML along with programming languages like Java to build software architectures
* PriceWatersCoopers' prestigious Technology Center just predicted that MDA will be one of the most important methodologies in the next two years
* Written by the lead architect of the specification who provides inside information on how MDA has worked in the real world
* Describes MDA in detail and demonstrates how it can work with existing methodologies and technologies such as UML,MOF, CWM, and Web services
