Information technology systems architects, senior information technology scientists, research staff especially in the telecommunications domain.
Research and development engineers involved in the OMG standardisation process around all issues relating to Model Driven Architecture
The Model Driven Architecture being a rather young approach to information systems modelling, development, deployment and operation promises a number of improvements in systems integration especially for very large information systems as those found at telecom operators’ and service providers’ infrastructures.
This document gives an overview of issues for further research, which the consortium partners in the MODA-TEL project has found not adequately addressed yet by the current state of the art in MDA technology.
Some of the identified issues are specific to the telecoms domain while others are general enough to be important for the whole information technology industry both for the MDA technology providers as well as for the MDA technology users.
The identified research areas that are described in the document include: (a) Quality of Service awareness, (b) Behaviour modelling, (c) Model transformations, (d) Interoperability, and (e) MDA tools.
This list of issues will guide the MODA-TEL project partners in their work throughout the rest of the project and the consortium as a whole is committed to provide satisfactory answers and prototype solutions for these issues.
