Model Driven Architecture, Embedded Developers and Rhapsody
Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®) is an approach to using models in software development including the writing of specifications and the actual developing of applications that allows the functionality and behavior of the system to be separated from implementation details. Rhapsody’s key enabling technologies are focused on the needs of the embedded developer and have always followed the concept of separating functionality and behavior from...

Why Model Driven Design is Emerging as a Preferred Best Practice
Embedded designs are becoming more complex and marketing-based windows of opportunity place a premium on the efficiency and effectiveness of the design process and of design outcomes. EMF studies regarding purchasing decision-making illustrates a further problem. The acquisition process of operating systems and development tools is most frequently detached from the financial consequences of being late to market (and the increased engineering...

Agile Techniques for Object Databases
Scott Ambler, agile development guru, discusses five agile techniques and contrasts their application with the use of relational (RDBMS) and object database (ODBMS) technology. He finds that the use of RDBMS technology complicates the adoption of these techniques while ODBMS technology makes it easier to be agile, especially when using non-intrusive technology such as db4o.
