===== ADMTF TASK FORCE ===== ==== Mission ==== === Our Mission Statement === Create specifications and promote industry consensus on modernization of existing applications. === What are Existing Applications? === Existing application systems are defined as any production-enabled software, regardless of the platform it runs on, language it is written in, or length of time it has been in production. Existing application has entered the maintenance and evolution mode. === What is Architecture-Driven Modernization? === Process of understanding and evolving existing software assets for the purpose of * Software improvement * Modifications * Interoperability * Refactoring * Restructuring * Reuse * Porting * Migration * Translation into another language * Enterprise application integration * Service-oriented architecture * MDA migration Modernization starts where existing practices fail to deliver against business objectives === Our Goals === * The ultimate goal - Revitalization of Existing Applications * Make existing applications more agile * Leverage existing OMG modeling standards and the MDA initiative * Consolidate best practices leading to successful modernization === Benefits === * Enable business agility by creating software agility * Improve ROI in existing software * Improve productivity of software development * Reduce maintenance effort and cost * Extending useful life of existing applications === ADM Glossary === [[http://adm.omg.org/ADM_Glossary_Spreadsheet_pdf.pdf|ADM Glossary of Definitions and Terms]] ==== ADM Roadmap ==== YOUR DRAFT AGENDA FOR CAMBRIDGE, MA HERE ==== Mailing list ==== The admtf TF mailing list archive is here (scroll to bottom for most recent posting): http://www.omg.org/archives/admtf/.\\ Send email to the mailing list via <[email protected]> (OMG member representatives only).\\ To join the mailing list, contact: <[email protected]> ==== Adopted specifications ==== All OMG's adopted specifications, including all those sponsored by ADTF, are available at: http://www.omg.org/spec ==== Work in progress ==== See the "admtf TF" section of OMG's Work in Progress page: http://www.omg.org/schedule/#ADMTF ==== Co-chairs ==== YOUR TASK FORCE CHAIRS NAMES HERE Send email to all the chairs via <[email protected]>. ==== How to get involved ==== If you are interested in getting involved with this group, want more information or would like to come as a guest to an upcoming meeting and obtain temporary access to the group's mailing list, please contact one of our [[http://www.omg.org/memberservices/accountreps.htm|Account Representatives]] or contact one of the Chairs. ==== Further resources ==== === News Stories === [[http://searchsoa.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid26_gci1518102,00.html|Legacy Modernization Work Focuses on Developing ADM Standards]] [[http://adm.omg.org/docs/Software_Archeology_4-Mar-2009.pdf|Software Archeology: Modernizing Old Systems]] [[http://www.sdtimes.com/article/special-20040215-02.html|Creating Quality From Architectural Standpoint]] [[http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=8607|OMG at work on legacy transform spec]] [[http://www.sdtimes.com/article/story-20031015-09.html|Breathing New Life Into Legacy Systems]] === Industry Initiatives === == MoDisco Partnership == [[http://eclipse.org/MoDisco/|Eclipse-MDT MoDisco project (Model Driven Reverse Engineering framework)]] [[http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Components/KDM|MoDisco KDM implementation and support]] [[http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Components/SMM|MoDisco SMM implementation and support]] [[http://wiki.eclipse.org/MoDisco/Components/GASTM|MoDisco GASTM implementation and support]]
