Model-Driven Architecture Overcomes Limits of Traditional Object Modeling

Object-modeling methodologies have long held the promise of enabling development teams to deliver higher-quality software faster and with better code reuse. Sadly, traditional object-modeling solutions such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) have largely failed to fulfill this promise because they can't deliver frequent, tangible results in today's environments, where changes are coming faster than ever before. This paper explores the shortcomings of traditional object-modeling methodologies and explains how Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) provides a solution to the object-modeling challenge.
