The article describes the increasing relevance of IT standards
and the factors that influence the rate of standardization observed in
the industry. Standardization is not a silver bullet, yet skilled and
selective adoption of appropriate standards provides the substrate for
growing a successful IT organization. The article also explores the
limits of standards. Building a strong competitive edge requires going
beyond industry standards, and the creating an environment that fosters
innovation.

It is time for a major stock take of model driven software development approaches within software intensive industries. The term "Model Driven" has gone through the usual hype cycle, and the dust is in the process of settling. This article analyzes the current situation from a tool vendor independent perspective, and it provides practical recommendations for the adoption of a Model Driven Software Development paradigm.

Slides from a popular full-day conference
workshop. Establishing an enterprise architecture based on
open
standards. Categorising a software portfolio into strategic assets,
nonstrategic assets, and liabilities. Reviewing open source options in
building an enterprise architecture. Understanding and assessing the
lifetime costs of different types of software assets. Considering
short-term and long-term risks and benefits of build versus buy versus
open source. Developing a decision framework for build versus buy
versus open source to obtain the best ROI for your business
environment. Assessing the value of contributing to open source

This article summarizes the key qualitative differences
between model driven software development and traditional iterative
software development. The article was originally published in the Model
Driven Development special edition of OBJEKTspektrum,
a magazine dedicated to providing the information needs of
German-speaking software developers and managers on the topic of
object-orientation and component ware. [149 KB]

This article in Frank T. Piller's Mass Customization News (a newsletter on Mass Customization, Personalization and Customer Integration) introduces the mass customization concept as it applies to the development of mass-customized software products.
This paper addresses the question of how to successfully create durable and scalable software architectures by using component based development and applying a simple set of rules to manage complexity and dependencies. Additionally the paper shows how the concept of Open Source software can be leveraged as a driver for innovation in commercial software development. [198 KB]
Business Process Trends, a primary source of news and
information relating to all aspects of business process change, focused
on trends, directions and best practices publishes an introduction
to MDSD in Dave Frankel's MDA Journal. This paper presents
MDSD in-a-nutshell for a general audience. [148 KB]

This paper investigates the root causes of escalating software development costs and presents an overview of an emerging paradigm for industrialized software asset development (ISAD). The ISAD paradigm is based on model-driven software development techniques and a classification of software into strategic assets, non-strategic assets, and liabilities. [642 KB]
The Model-Driven Software Development paradigm is
intentionally not prescriptive about most micro-level activities in the
software development process. This paper focuses on the macro-level
software modeling and development activities that are characteristic of
the MDSD paradigm.

This paper examines different software product
development models from the perspective of a product vendor, i.e. from
the perspective of a company building and selling software product
lines, and we evaluate the limitations and the applicable scenarios of
each model. [244 KB]
This paper provides guidance on combining "heavier" methodologies for software product line development with the use of Model Driven ArchitectureTM (MDATM) tools and critical elements of agile methodologies to create robust and reliable processes for infrastructure development, and highly agile processes for application development. [144 KB]
This paper uses a small-scale practical example to highlight the potential of MDATM, and compares traditional software development (no abstract modelling), standard Unified Modelling Language (UML)-based software development, and MDATM-based software development. [264 KB]
