A practical, hands-on approach to using model-driven development to architect an enterprise-level system


Model-driven development is a natural progression of component-based development that programmers can use to form applications and entire system architectures-and save on time and costs. This hands-on book is the first of its kind to show how to architect an enterprise-level system using models as components and UML as the modeling language. Written by leaders in the industry, this book helps readers move to a model-based approach for the design and construction of systems. The authors offer a timely and practical discussion of the model-driven development approach, which has been endorsed by leaders in the software development community.

Application Development Series


Due to the slow migration from older technologies to newer, Internet-oriented technologies by the software development workforce, there is currently a severe shortage of software developers who are capable of building business applications. Building these applications is an extremely labor-intensive process that must be performed by developers proficient in newer technologies, such as UML, J2EE, design patterns, and more-but will eventually lead to automated business application development, meaning cheaper, faster, and more reliable applications.


Wiley Computer Publishing has teamed with industry expert Jack Greenfield (Series Editor) to publish titles that will fill this gap in the application development industry and help technical professionals understand how business applications are being developed and how the technical landscape as a whole is changing.
