OMG's 4th Annual Workshop On UML For Enterprise Applications
The Object Management Group(OMG) announces the program for its fourth
annual
Workshop on UML for Enterprise Applications taking place in Burlingame, CA
from June 23-26, 2003. With the pending completion of adoption of UML 2.0, UML
continues to emerge as the industry standard of choice for modeling enterprise
software systems in domains ranging from finance and manufacturing to health
and telecommunications. Use of the language is also experiencing rapid growth
among systems engineers, who are using it to model large, complex systems,
such as aircraft and automobiles. UML's success is the inspiration behind the
OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA), an initiative employing UML for
specifying and potentially generating model-driven architecture throughout the
software and system lifecycles from requirements capture all the way through
to long-term maintenance.
Riding on these exciting developments, the UML for Enterprise Applications
Workshop is packed with interesting tutorials, discussion groups and
presentations. The following is a summary of highlights from the official
program:
- 2 days of comprehensive tutorials on UML and MDA
- Panel discussion on UML 2.0: Why should I care? And What should I do?
- Legacy Systems Integration with MDA: An MDA Success Story
- Building an Executable UML Virtual Machine
- Integrating Open Source Tools into the MDA Paradigm
- Metamodel Integration
The workshop is open to all with an interest in UML modeling solutions that
apply to some combination of model-driven architecture, distributed
applications, meta-modeling, metadata and interchange and interoperability
standards To register, visit

is available. Contact Kevin Loughry at loughry@omg.org or visit

About The OMG
With well-established standards covering software from design and
development,
through deployment and maintenance, and extending to evolution to future
platforms, the Object Management Group (OMG) supports a full-lifecycle
approach to enterprise integration which maximizes ROI, the key to successful
IT. Based on the Model Driven Architecture (MDA), OMG's standards cover
multiple operating systems, programming languages, middleware and networking
infrastructures, and software development environments. OMG's Modeling
standards, the basis for the MDA, include the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
and Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM). CORBA, the Common Object Request Broker
Architecture, is OMG's standard open platform with hundreds of millions of
deployments running today. OMG's well-established CORBAservices and
industry-specific standards are being re-issued under the MDA in many popular
middleware environments. OMG domain (industry-specific) standards cover
vertical markets including healthcare, telecommunications, biotechnology,
transportation and a dozen other areas. The OMG is headquartered in Needham,
MA, USA, with a U.S government representative in Washington, DC, and
international marketing representatives in Japan, the UK, and Germany.
The Object Management Group is an international, open membership,
not-for-profit computer industry specifications consortium. OMG member
companies write, adopt, and maintain the organization's standards following a
mature, open process. All current OMG specifications may be downloaded without
charge from the organization's Website, www.omg.org; the site also provides additional
information about OMG and its activities. For information on joining the OMG,
or questions not addressed on the Website, please contact OMG headquarters by
email at info@omg.org, by phone at 781-444
0404, or by fax at 781-444 0320. The OMG provides current information and
services for distributed enterprise computing through The Information
Brokerage service on the World Wide Web at www.omg.org and www.corba.org.
