Dr. Jon Siegel, OMG's Vice President of Technology Transfer, heads OMG's technology transfer program with the goal of teaching the technical aspects and benefits of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) based on OMG's modeling specifications UML, the MOF, XMI and CWM. Siegel's scope also includes OMG's industry-standard middleware, the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and the Object Management Architecture (OMA) comprised of the CORBAservices, the CORBAfacilities, and the Domain specifications in vertical markets ranging from healthcare, life sciences, and telecommunications to manufacturing and financial systems. In this capacity, he presents tutorials, seminars, and company briefings around the world, and writes magazine articles and books including the popular "CORBA 3 Fundamentals and Programming" and "Quick CORBA 3".
