From Object Composition to Model Transformation with the MDA
Jean Bézivín · Technology of Object-Oriented Languages and Systems · 2001
Abstract: The object technology revolution has allowed the replacement of the more than twenty-years old step-wise procedural refinement paradigm by the more fashionable object composition paradigm. Surprisingly this evolution seems itself today to be triggering another even more radical change, towards model transformation. As a concrete trace of this, the Object Management Group (OMG) is rapidly moving from its previous Object Management Architecture vision (OMA) to the newest Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). Some of the main characteristics of this new organization will be outlined in the presentation.
