Abstract:

The past 15 years have seen some very interesting advances in the world of modeling, metamodeling and their use in developing tools and middleware across the complete application lifecycle.

Industry modeling standards from OMG and web infrastructure standards like XML, WSDL and more recently semantic web standards like RDF and OWL have made their way into tools that cover the entire application lifecycle for both custom developed as well as packaged application implementations.

As we start a new decade what can we expect in the next 10 years?
This presentation will summarize the historical journey, take a snapshot of where the industry and related standards are as we begin the new decade. We will have a look at how we expect the world of the internet and semantic web will shape modeling, metamodeling and tools integration over the next decade.

We will look at how emerging collaborative application lifecycle platforms like Jazz (www.jazz.net) and emerging standards like SMOF (Semantic MOF) and future versions of UML and BPMN are evolving to address the challenges of the new decade.
