MDA distilled: principles of model-driven architecture
An introduction to the MDA standard and its tools and technologies, this book describes the fundamental features of MDA, how they fit together, and how you can use them in your organization. It also teaches how to define a model-driven process for a project involving multiple platforms, implement that process, and then test the resulting system.
