BPM and MDA: The Rise of Model-Driven Enterprise Systems
David Frankel is a member of the OMG`s Architecture Board and one of the leading gurus behind the OMG`s new Model Driven Architecture initiative. In this thoughtful paper, he considers how MDA and Business Process Management (i.e. XML business process languages) will need to be integrated to have the impact their developers seek for them. Together, Frankel argues, these two new modeling technologies can integrate enterprise systems development and create a variety of new business opportunities.
