概要：
Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is currently one of the most exciting
approaches for accelerating code development and improving the
quality of software in complex systems like embedded systems in
ubiquitous era. MDA is an approach to the full lifecycle integration
of enterprise systems comprised of software, hardware, humans, and
business practices. It provides a systematic framework to understand,
design, operate, and evolve all aspects of such enterprise systems,
using engineering methods and tools. MDA utilizes models and a
generalized idea of architecture standards to address integration of
enterprise systems in the face of heterogeneous and evolving
technology and embedded business domains. MDA combines computer-aided
verification and machine intelligence during modeling to discover and
remove design bugs before code reviews and testing. MDA represents an
evolutionary step forward from previous development approaches.
It’s built on the solid foundation of well established
standards, including Unified Modeling Language (UML), the ubiquitous
modeling notation used and supported by every major company in the
software industry, and XML Metadata Interchange (XMI), the standard
for storing and exchanging models using XML.
MDA is well-suited for embedded software development because it
separates functional logic from implementation details and with the
right MDA technology, automates the generation and testing of any
embedded application architecture.  MDA provides embedded software
developers with a fundamentally different and higher-level way to
accommodate changing requirements, increase reuse and extend system
longevity.
In my talks, we will discuss the MDA and will help you understand
what MDA is, how best to adopt it and the benefits it provides when
implemented the embedded software with a model automation and
transformation environment. We will also deliver the advantages of
this approach as faster, more predictable software delivery cycles,
minimizing the impact of requirements changes on development
schedules, greater component reuse & implementation consistency and
architectural flexibility and platform independences.

講演報告：
　今回は，米国ミシガン州立のセントラルミシガン大学から，情報技術
研究所の所長であり，国際計算機情報科学会のCEOであるRoger Lee博士
を招いての講演会であった．
　講演後参加者から活発な質問があり，意見交換を行った．その結果，
極めて充実した講演会となった．現在注目を集めている組込みシステム
について当該分野の最先端である米国の研究者を招いての講演会であり，
情報科学科以外の教職員の参加も見られた．
　次回は，カナダの研究者を招いて，エージェント交渉の充足問題の
最先端に関して開催したい．
