Interactive Objects Software (i. O): Overview 6 u Interactive Objects was founded 1990 u Successful in applied Architectural Consulting “Chief Architect” positions in many Fortune 500 companies u Profitable Significant u Launched Based R&D investments (> 20%) Arc. Styler Product Line in 2000 on a decade of reality-scale consulting Is proven ROI-effective in production environments Defines/substantiates a new class: the Architectural IDE

A New Class: The Architectural IDE u An Architecture-centric Platform Above and beyond programming IDEs Enforces architectural standards and architectural integrity u End-to-End Systems from Models (UML, BOM) Generates optimized infrastructure for diverse environments J 2 EE 1. 3/EJB 2. 0, Web Services, . NET, CORBA, Cobol, Host u MDA To Programming Environment (MPE) MDA enable your existing or new infrastructure Arc. Styler: a “runtime platform” for standard and 7

Focusing on The Business of IT Architecture 11 Stable evolution of your business designs The Business Of ITArchitecture Means supporting this with optimized automation. Convergent MDA mapping for business continuity. Stable evolution of your UML models Convergent MDA mapping for business continuity. Managed Evolution of Service Infrastructure: EAI, framework standards, custom e. g. J 2 EE/EJB, . NET, Host, SAP Optimized mapping for effective usage and ROI.

The first level of automation. ~30 Years 12 Programming IDEs (e. g. JBuilder, Visual Age, Net. Beans) Environment PIM Generator, Projection PSM Programming Language Compiler Engine Diverse HW/OS Platforms • Higher level of expression • Easier to understand • Portable • Standardized • Dependable • Flexible • Configurable • Optimizing • Complete: Linker, Debugger, Etc.
