Appendix A. MDA: Model-Driven Architecture

This appendix summarizes Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Several authors dedicate whole books to MDA; seek out those books. The treatment here aims simply to demystify MDA enough so that you can talk sensibly about it. Better yet, investigate the vendor offerings. Abstract descriptions don't deliver value: tools do.

Both Model Driven Architecture and MDA, like the Unified Modeling Language and UML, are trademarks of the Object Management Group.
