Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) is currently a highly regarded development paradigm among developers and researchers. With the advent of OMG's MDA and Microsoft's Software Factories, the MDSD approach has moved to the centre of the programmer's attention, becoming the focus of conferences such as OOPSLA, JAOO and OOP. MDSD is about using domain-specific languages to create models that express application structure or behaviour in an efficient and domain-specific way. These models are subsequently transformed into executable code by a sequence of model transformations. This practical guide for software architects and developers is peppered with practical examples and extensive case studies. International experts deliver:* A comprehensive overview of MDSD and how it relates to industry standards such as MDA and Software Factories.* Technical details on meta modeling, DSL construction, model-to-model and model-to-code transformations, and software architecture.* Invaluable insight into the software development process, plus engineering issues such as versioning, testing and product line engineering.* Essential management knowledge covering economic and organizational topics, from a global perspective. Get started and benefit from some practical support along the way!

A detailed exploration of the basic patterns underlying today's component infrastructures. The latest addition to this best-selling series opens by providing an "Alexandrian-style" pattern language covering the patterns underlying EJB, COM+ and CCM. It addresses not only the underlying building blocks, but also how they interact and why they are used. The second part of the book provides more detail about how these building blocks are employed in EJB. In the final section the authors fully explore the benefits of building a system based on components.* Examples demonstrate how the 3 main component infrastructures EJB, CCM and COM+ compare* Provides a mix of principles and concrete examples with detailed UML diagrams and extensive source code* Forewords supplied by industry leaders: Clemens Syzperski and Frank Buschmann
