Prerequisites
This course assumes the student has:

• Some modeling experience
• Java Programming experience (Intermediate)
• XML Experience (Intermediate)

Course Description

This course will provide the student with an understanding of Model-Driven Architecture with relevant standards and tools.  The OMG standard Enterprise Collaboration Architecture ((ECA) will be used as a basis for modeling collaboration, business processes and integration. 

Using Component-X™ the student will learn the basics of design for collaborative business process and will create components to implement these business processes using a combination of component assembly, Java and XML.  Developers will then create and use web services to achieve an open, distributed environment. While web services will be used, a detailed understanding of web services is not required due to the use of MDA automation.

At the end of the curse, students will be able to design, implement, integrate and deploy collaborative business process components using component assembly, Java, XML and web services. 

Various exercises will be used during the course.   In-house courses may utilize examples derived from the companies own business processes and requirements.
