As the name implies, AMDD is the agile version of Model Driven Development (MDD). MDD is an approach to software development where extensive models are created before source code is written. A primary example of MDD is the Object Management Group (OMG)’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) standard. With MDD a serial approach to development is often taken, MDD is quite popular with traditionalists, although as the RUP/EUP shows it is possible to take an iterative approach with MDD. The difference with AMDD is that instead of creating extensive models before writing source code you instead create agile models which are just barely good enough that drive your overall development efforts. AMDD is a critical strategy for scaling agile software development beyond the small, co-located team approach that we saw during the first stage of agile adoption.
We implemented the N-services model through computer simulations. In this paper, we present insights developed into the growth and formation of a referral network of agents and how efficiently services were produced through one of our simulations.
Apple may change its business model to provide unlimited music to challenge Nokia offer. The discussion is currently focused on how much should Apple pay to the industry (20$ per ipod) whereas Nokia is already engaged on 80§ per device.
