The document outlines Model Driven Architecture (MDA), a standard for IT system specification that abstracts functionality from implementation. It discusses various models used within MDA, such as computation independent, platform independent, and platform specific models, and highlights their relevance in the software development life cycle. Additionally, it presents recent advancements and challenges in MDA, emphasizing its importance in creating robust and flexible software solutions.

3. A model is a description or representation of system. It is an abstraction of a system
or a part of it.

4. MDA is standard from the OMG (Object Management Group) .
Definition from OMG
MDA is “an approach to IT system specification that separates the
specification of functionality from the specification of the
implementation”.
A model in MDA is a formal specification of the function, structure
and/or behavior of an application or system.
Generally , MDA is all about the standards.

They have analyzed the different CASE tools that are deployed under the
MDA process.
They have discussed transformations among MDA and MDD (model driven
development) in perspective of instinctive competencies for SDLC.
It describes vital impact of this research is CM (component model) for
MDA.
They have also deliberated how development of the model driven software
can be defined by the diverse tool chain.
They have also generated the class diagram as well as source code

7. They had presented an OOMDRDP (Object Oriented Model Driven
Rapid Development Process).
OOMDRDP approach comprises four phase’s
analysis,
design,
implementation and
testing .
All phase has micro recursive process based on model driven
architecture.

8. UML is used to erect the model.
Object oriented model on the computer numerical controller is applied.
From program codes to UML models they have endorsed the non-concrete
layer of SD (software development), which perform code associability
and testing the functions of computer numerical controller on the UML
model.
They have validated the CNC schedule ability against the real time system.

10. Computation Independent Model (CIM)
 It presents exactly what the system is expected
todo, but hides all information technology
related specifications.
Platform Independent Model (PIM)
A PIM exhibits a sufficient degree of
independence so as to enable its mapping to one
or more platforms.
Platform Specific Model (PSM)
A PSM combines the specifications in the PIM
with the details required to stipulate how a
system uses a particular type of platform.

Development Real-Time System Based on Aspect-Oriented
Used for Industrial Applications
Cloud Applications Development
Changing Software Market
Generally MDA , ensuring software solutions that are robust, flexible
and agile for developing applications.

15. Latest research and progress in the area of Model Driven
Architecture (MDA) resulted –
 in advanced tools for the creation of models,
 automatic source code generation and
 building whole frameworks for creating application
skeletons based on these models.
MDA have the following research areas
MDA in Enterprise Application
MDA for cancer research
MDA in embeded system

16. Grand Challenges of MDA for the Next 30 Years
Resource Affordability and Availability.
Resource Affordability and Availability.
Sustainability

improvement of software development life cycle but it also comprises of
several issues, challenges which needs to be addressed. “
