  PA 765: Multiple Discriminant Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
MDA is used to classify a categorical dependent which has more than two categories, using as predictors a number of interval or dummy independent variables.
In MDA the standardized discriminant coefficients indicate the relative importance of the independent variables in determining the location of cases in discriminant space for the dimension represented by the function for that set of standardized coefficients.
MDA is maximizing the difference between values of the dependent.

 An introduction to Model Driven Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Application architects use the MDA framework as a blueprint for expressing their enterprise architectures, and employ the open standards inherent in MDA as their "future proofing" against vendor lock-in and technology churn.
MDA practitioners recognize that transformations can be applied to abstract descriptions of aspects of a system to add detail, make the description more concrete, or convert between representations.
IBM recognizes MDA as an emerging set of standards and technologies focused on a particular style of software development—one that prescribes certain kinds of models to be used, how these models may be prepared, and the relationships among the different kinds of models.

 Cover Pages: OMG Model Driven Architecture (MDA)
MDA is a new software architecture principle in the sense that it follows, incorporates or supports most industry standards.
The OMG MDA is designed to protect software investments by providing a framework in which application infrastructure components, such as databases and programming languages, can be changed without requiring enterprises to change their underlying application architecture.
In the MDA, this platform-independent base model is used to generate equivalent versions of the standard on one or several middleware platforms, as needed by the industry that uses it.

 Java Pro - Java and the Model Driven Architecture
MDA is a way to separate the architecture of an application from its implementation.
In addition, MDA consists of a few core models, or profiles—for enterprise development and another for real-time development (real time in the sense that hardware/software systems must have predictable response times).
The entire MDA structure and process is a standard of the Object Modeling Group, the same standards body that maintains the CORBA and UML standards.

 Tools for the code generation- ADTmag.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
MDA vendors claim that today’s products can generate between 40% and 80% of the completed code for a given app based on models created with UML, and customers and analysts back up those claims.
MDA’s purported benefits go beyond automatic code generation and the reduction of development costs, but those advantages are longer-term and most have yet to be proven outside of theoretical conversations.
These are the tools that existed before the MDA specification but which are still considered by their makers to be MDA-compliant, as well as “pure-play” MDA vendors committed to matching the official standard.

 MDA FAQ
MDA development focuses first on the functionality and behavior of a distributed application or system, undistorted by idiosyncrasies of the technology platform or platforms on which it will be implemented.
Any modeling language used in MDA must be described in terms of the MOF language, to enable the metadata to be understood in a standard manner, which is a precondition for any ability to perform automated transformations.
As the PIM for the new MDA specification or application is transformed into a PSM and then a coded application by the MDA tool chain, interoperability with other applications and services is built into it according to these links which are implemented properly regardless of the target's native middleware.

 Report Lauds Model-Driven Approach's Impact On Maintenance Productivity - ebizQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
MDA proved particularly well suited for enterprise-class applications as it was found that productivity benefits increased with the complexity of applications and data structures.
The Middleware Company explains that, “MDA is a development approach in which an abstract representation of a system serves as a blueprint to encapsulate the application design and generate implementation code.
MDA differs from other modeling approaches in several ways: it is standardized, separates the business model from specifics of the J2EE platform, embodies J2EE best practices and can be customized by the architect.
