whitepaper What Is Model Driven Architecture?2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a fairly new resource in the software development field. The MDA is a framework for software development that been defined by the OMG (Object Management Group). It is an approach to creating good designs that can cope with multiple technology deployments of a software system and is based on widely used standards like the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The intention of the MDA is to create machine-readable models that can be understood by automatic tools that generate schemas, code skeletons, testing models, test packs, and integration code for multiple platforms and technologies.   
whitepaper A Simple Approach to Business Modelling2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  Creating business models that are easy to understand are invaluable tools for understanding the inner workings of the organization, its functions, its role players and the business entities it uses, creates and consumes. It is a critical foundation for the system models that describe the supporting software architecture and allows for easy traceability and impact assessments of business to system and system to business. Using the simple approach described in this paper will allow the business modeller to rapidly create accurate business models.   
whitepaper Use Case Based Estimation2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  For the average develop manager who often do not have the time and resources to do a proper function point count or other estimation this paper offers a basic estimation method using a use case based approach. This idiot's guide to the idiot's guide of estimation is a quick approach to getting an 80% correct estimation for a software development project. The downside of this approach is that you will have to have some idea of how long it takes to deliver work across a systems development life cycle.   
whitepaper Modelling the Data Warehouse Using the UML2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  In the modern information age it is imperative for the organization to have its information at its fingertips. To meet this need for information, additions to systems are often developed to give consolidated management overviews of the operational information. Often, consolidated views require information from several operational systems and this leads to separate systems, often referred to as MIS (management information systems) or decision support systems. Sometimes the consolidated management information is represented in a specialized system often referred to as a data warehouse.   
whitepaper Lessons From the Field: Developing Standards2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  Developing UML standards is an important first step in achieving consistency and efficiency in an enterprise. Consistent modelling means consistent understanding between the modellers and their audience. Consistent modelling practices also make for easy movement of resources between teams without extended learning curves. Some of the lessons Xpdian has learned in developing standards are deciding what standards must be developed, involving the right people, developing UML champions, developing formal standards documents, developing formal standards training, developing lots of examples and reviewing the standards constantly.   
whitepaper Lessons From the Field: Solving Abstraction2005-10-25 03:00:03 Xpdian
  One of the most difficult concepts in the modelling use cases is the exact level of detail (often called level of abstraction) to model to. Some modellers may model at a very high level of abstraction which implies that the use case can still be broken down into several more detailed use cases. Other modellers prefer to model at a very detailed level of abstraction which means that they prefer to work at a very detailed use case level that often cannot be broken down any further. As long as one modeller develops and maintains a model this does not have too many drawbacks.   
whitepaper MSDN Architecture Webcast: RUP Vs. MSF? UML Vs. DSLs? What's the Difference Anyway? (Level 200)2005-11-10 01:00:02 Microsoft
  This webcast compares the new modeling tools in Microsoft Visual Studio Team System and Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development with UML 2.0 and the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The webcast describes top-down system decomposition using the System Diagram, as well as modeling of systems using the Application and Logical Datacenter Diagrams. These diagrams are contrasted against the new diagrams in UML 2.0. A use case approach is compared to the persona/scenario approach used in MSF. Finally, the webcast presents the differences between RUP and MSF.   
whitepaper How to Use UML With Sun Java Studio Enterprise2005-11-18 01:00:02 Sun Microsystems
  The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has long been the forte of architects. Now, with UML support included in Java development environments, it is gaining popularity for communicating software design among team members in addition to increasing developer productivity. This webcast provides an overview of the most important features of UML 2.0 and how these new features can be utilized by Java developers.
