INTEGRATION OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION DECISIONS INTO THE MDA FRAMEWROK

Abstract

Model Driven Development (MDD) is typically based on models which heavily lead the quality production of application’s architecture. This is because architectural decisions are often implicitly embedded in software engineering, therefore lacks first-class consideration. Architecture has been established as a key to develop software systems that meet quality expectations of their stakeholders. The explicit definition of architectural decisions, aims to well control the quality on the software development process. In this paper, we propose to extend the MDA framework by integrating decision aspects. We propose also an approach to use architectural decisions as a meta-model for the MDD process. Integration of architectural decisions allows architectural design to be defined explicitly and guides architects in creating systems with desirable qualities; and for MDA it extends the approach by integrating true decisional concerns into MDD process.
