Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) Workshop by Tonex
Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) Workshop by Tonex offer an in-depth exploration of the MDA approach to software design and system development, emphasizing model-centric workflows over traditional coding. Participants gain hands-on experience with core MDA concepts such as CIM, PIM, and PSM, and learn how to streamline development across platforms using reusable models.
The training addresses how MDA aligns with digital transformation, accelerates development cycles, and enhances systems interoperability. From a cybersecurity perspective, MDA’s model-based enforcement of security policies and separation of concerns significantly reduces vulnerabilities and ensures consistency across complex architectures—essential for developing secure, scalable enterprise and embedded systems.
