MDA Book in German Language

My first book in German language about MDA (Model Driven Architecture) and VOFI (Visualization of Financial Implications) is now available:

Anwendungsentwicklung mit Model Driven Architecture
– dargestellt anhand vollständiger Finanzpläne
This book is my doctor dissertation from the year 2006 and is now published within the series of Advances in Information Systems and Management Science from Logos Verlag Berlin.

The good thing is that I will offer a free download for the PDF version - many thanks to Logos Verlag which makes this possible! So, if you can read German, you are welcome to download it ;-) For this purpose I'm searching some sponsors. As soon as I get some sponsors I'll put the PDF version somewhere in the internet. So, stay tuned!

If you want to buy it, just order from
Logos Verlag Berlin: ISBN 978-3-8325-1480-8
Or go directly to this order site:

Happy reading!
Lofi.

Anwendungsentwicklung mit Model Driven Architecture
– dargestellt anhand vollständiger Finanzpläne
Die modellgetriebene Anwendungsentwicklung, die von Object Management Group (OMG) als Model Driven Architecture (MDA) standardisiert wurde, nutzt Modelle als Hauptartefakte und zeichnet sich durch hohe Qualität und Produktivität gegenüber quellcodezentrierten Anwendungsentwicklungen aus.

Blasius Lofi Dewanto führt in der vorliegenden Arbeit eine umfassende Untersuchung durch, die die Nutzenpotenziale der MDA für eine anwendernahe und anforderungsgerechte Anwendungsentwicklung betrachtet. Es wird sowohl der Bedarf in der Anwendungsdomäne des Controllinginstrumentes VOFI (Vollständiger Finanzplan) erfasst als auch die Implementierung und Evaluation der Ergebnisse aus Sicht der Entwickler und Endanwender analysiert. Zudem werden die für Entscheider bedeutenden ökonomischen Konsequenzen durch die Verwendung von MDA systematisch aufgeführt.

Aus dem Inhalt

  • MDA: Grundlagen und Wiederverwendungsansätze
  • Investitionscontrolling: VOFI, SAP, Corporate Planner und Tabellenkalkulations-programme
  • mdaVOFI: Modellgetriebenes Konzept für VOFI, Entwicklung der VOFI-Produkt-familie
  • Evaluation: Entscheidersicht mit TCO-VOFI, Entwickler- und Anwendersicht

English
Application Development with Model Driven Architecture In the Domain of Visualization of Financial Implications
Application development using Model Driven Architecture (MDA), which is standardized by Object Management Group (OMG), uses models as its first class citizen artefacts and allows high quality result in comparison with source code centric application development.

Dr. Dewanto explains
in this book the potential of MDA for a user-oriented application development and explains how user requirements can be easily fullfilled by using MDA. He takes a real-world domain in investment planning with Visualization of Financial Implications (VOFI) and implements this domain step-by-step using the method of MDA. At the end of this book he summarizes the result of his research from user's and developer's perspective to show where the MDA potentials still need to be explored. Last but not least he shows an investment analysis using MDA in software development from a decision maker's view. He emphasizes in what cases it is financially worthwhile to utilize MDA in a small software development team.

Content

  • MDA: Basics and Software Reuse (Reference Modelling, Productline Software Engineering, Architecture and Patterns, Component Based Software Engineering)
  • Investment Planning: VOFI, SAP, Corporate Planner and Spreadsheet Applications
  • mdaVOFI: Model Driven Concept for VOFI, Development of VOFI Product Family
  • Evaluation: decision maker's perspective with TCO-VOFI (Total Cost of Ownership with VOFI), developer's and user's perspective

GWT Training for Java Developers with GWT Boot

I'm always a fan of " one language solution with Java to rule them all ", here are sofar my opinions about Polyglot Programming: Why "Polyglot Programming" or "Do It Yourself Programming Languages" or "Language Oriented Programming" sucks? Warum Polyglot Programming nicht praxistauglich ist Java als universelle Programmiersprache Until today nobody can excite me about Polyglot Programming. My points are getting another big support after I read the " Rise of Polyglot at Netflix " presentation which says that Polyglot is expensive , also for company in the category of Netflix. At the end of the day we need to be productive . Our applications should have a  high quality standard and the total costs  (TCO) of our software development should be manageable and low . To be able to reach this goal we have Java with Spring Boot or JakartaEE on the server-side which offers REST interfaces. So logically for user interface development

Moving Host Cobol Batches and Monolith Webapps to Cloud and Microservices

Very interesting presentation in Amazon Event "From Mainframe to Microservices - Vanguard's Move to the Cloud" . Following parts can be used as Migration Patterns : Different ways of how to move from Mainframe to Microservices: Re-host Reengineer  Refactor Rewrite Batch job migration Data analytics enablement Data-driven augmentation Re-platform with Linux and Java Repurchase Retire Combination of all This presentation also shows the Cloud Data Architecture at Vanguard. Generally this is how we can build our own database for our micrsoservicew at the cloud and at the same time still use the data from DB2 mainframe on-premise as well.  Advantages using this data architecture: Each microservice reads data from its own local database. DB2 mainframe database can still be used from other Host / Cobol batches. DB scalability Disadvantages: You cannot write to the database in case you have a network problem. There is an extension t
