MDA is like the mobile phone, now that you are used to it you cant understand how you ever managed without it.
-Developer

Applied Models offers a complete Model Driven Architecture (MDA) software development tool. It gives you the whole width and flexibility of MDA. You are free to use the easy-to-start with predefined modelling languages that come with the package or design your own. Applied Models is built on industry standards such as MOF™, UML® and CWM® and uses Netbeans to provide a full IDE. Applied Models will make you a more competitive developer, give it a week and you will double your productivity.

The idea in MDA is to develop software by designing models and transforming those into running applications. MDA introduces a separation of the business logic from the code implementations (platform / language specific). This makes the programs easily moved to other platforms. The models are not only for design and documentation, but actual development artifacts from which the runtime application code is generated – The Model Is the Program!

Why MDA?

Develop with higher productivity, software of higher quality, which is easy to maintain and integrate with other systems and which can be translated to better platforms as these are released.


1.Your productivity will rise : MDA is a very efficient way to build systems: Developing time and costs are reduced by thorough design, automatically generated code (especially the routine coding tasks), early detection of the bugs due to early testing and increased application re-use.

2.The quality of your work will rise: Less coding – less bugs. Early testing of the code will expose the bugs in an early stage. The Modelling process will make you think the design through more thoroughly – limiting design errors.

3.Maintenance will be easier. Maintenance is performed on the models and every change in it will propagate through the whole system and not generate further bugs or inconsistencies.

4.Portability– The business logic model is independent of the implementation platform (program language or hardware)– when a new platform comes around you can easily port the system onto this (i.e. .NET to Java EE, or EJB 2.1 to EJB 3.0).

5.Greater consistency of architectural principles. Many systems today are difficult to maintain or integrate with other systems due to diverging standards and architecture. We all know many cases of disasterous software projects!

6.Developing is more fun with MDA - You will be relieved of many of the more boring routine coding tasks since much of this code is automatically generated. Instead you will spend more time designing and problem solving.

7.The company using MDA will build knowledge bank of standardised business information and system models that will make up the backbone of the company software architecture. This will ensure a consistent and unified software infrastructure.

Applied Models Team We have been working on some scripts that can give you an idea about how to work with Applied Models.

This class converts a jdbc database to a CWM model and is a good example of code generation (although reverse).

This script can be used to visual databases and it can easily be changed to suit different kinds of relational databases.

Usage:
This example requires that the following files are in the classpath: nsmdf.jar, com-appliedmodels-mdf-cwm1_0.jar, mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar (get it from MySQL).


JDBC2CWM j2c = new JDBC2CWM();
//Open the connection
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/db","dbuser","password");
//Generate the CWM model
CWMPackage cwmPackage = j2c.generateCWM(con);
//Write the results to a file
XMIWriter writer=((MDFOutermostPackage)cwmPackage).getXMIWriter("1.1"); writer.write((MDFOutermostPackage)cwmPackage, "dbmodelincwm.xml");
con.close();

Applied Models Team Why Applied Models?

We believe that MDA is the future of software development. Applied Models is a tool that completely implements the MDA fundamentals and therefore provides you with all the possibilities of MDA software development.


Benefits

1. A strict implementation of the MDA fundamentals; Modeling in UML, CWM, UIM and metamodeling in MOF

2. An open API - an open architecture that provides you with access to Applied Models transformation and code generation scripts and total control over the code generation process

3. Affordable and straight forward license model - 1 kind of license with all the functionality

4. MDA will be developed by the developer community - not the vendors! Join the community of MDA developers that share ideas, scripts and implementations!



Using Applied Models you can choose to work in the predefined modeling languages (so far UML, CWM, MOF, UIM) or use the MOF modeling framework to define your own modeling language, that better suits your development project needs. Applied Models has an open API allowing you to create your own scripts and implementations of MDA and share them with other developers.

We are developers that use MDA and we are commited to provide the market with a complete and affordable MDA development product that we want to use ourselves. The Model Is the Program!
