متن کاملTowards an MDA-Oriented Methodology
The author describes the need to introduce a methodology named MDA or Model Driven Architecture based on the concept of Open Distributed Application Construction (ODAC) to be used as a guide in the development of complex distributed applications. The reasons offered for the need of MDA are: 1. The emerging and proliferation of middleware technology. 2. The interoperability of the different midd...
متن کاملUsability Evaluation of User Interfaces Generated with a Model-Driven Architecture Tool
Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) has recently attracted interest of both research community and industry corporations. It specifies an automated process of developing interactive applications from high-level models to code generation. This approach can play a key role in the fields of Software Engineering (SE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, although there are some MDA-compliant m...
