* MDA framework, a model used in game design to analyze games

The term platform-specific model is most frequently used in the context of the MDA approach.

Note that the term “ architecture ” in Model-driven architecture does not refer to the architecture of the system being modeled, but rather to the architecture of the various standards and model forms that serve as the technology basis for MDA.

MDA envisages that the platform independent model ( PIM ), which represents a conceptual design realizing the functional requirements, will survive changes in realization technologies and software architectures.

In some cases however the parameters may be taken outside the MDA space like in model to text or text to model transformation tools.

Pragmatic MDA blends the literal standards from OMG's MDA with more traditional model driven mechanisms such as round-trip engineering that provides support for adapting implementation artifacts.

* Uncertain Value Proposition ( UVP ): As discussed, the vision of MDA allows for the specification of a system as an abstract model, which may be realized as a concrete implementation ( program ) for a particular computing platform ( e. g.. NET ).

There are also several conferences and workshops ( at OOPSLA, ECOOP mainly ) focusing on more specific aspects of MDA like model transformation, model composition, and generation.

MDA is atypical to this experience, often causing hallucinations and psychedelic effects in equal profundity to the chemicals in the 5-HT < sub > 2A </ sub > agonist category, but with substantially less mental involvement, and is possibly both a serotonin releaser and 5-HT < sub > 2A </ sub > receptor agonist.

An example is O2's Xda, or T-Mobile's MDA Compact.

VGA is referred to as an " array " instead of an " adapter " because it was implemented from the start as a single chip ( an ASIC ), replacing the Motorola 6845 and dozens of discrete logic chips that covered the full-length ISA boards of the MDA, CGA, and EGA.

These together provide the foundation for Model Driven Architecture ( MDA ), and related set of standards, building upon the success of UML and MOF.

This aligns with OMG's vision that MDA should allow modelling of a problem domain's full complexity in UML ( and related standards ) with subsequent transformation to a complete ( executable ) application.

* Incomplete Standards: The MDA approach is underpinned by a variety of technical standards, some of which are yet to be specified ( e. g. an action semantic language for xtUML ), or are yet to be implemented in a standard manner ( e. g. a QVT transformation engine or a PIM with a virtual execution environment ).
