'''Architecture-driven modernization''' is the name of the initiative of the [[Object Management Group]] (see [http://adm.omg.org/ OMG ADM Task Force website]) related to building and promoting standards that can be applied to modernize [[legacy systems]]. The objective of this initiative is to provide standard representations of views existing systems in order to enable common [[software modernization|modernization activities]] like code analysis and comprehension, and software transformation.

== Relationship to MDA ==
Existing (or ''legacy'') software has been one of biggest obstacles for adoption of a [[model-driven architecture]]. With some irony, the acronym for architecture-driven modernization, ADM looks like ''MDA in reverse'', where MDA is the acronym for OMG's model-driven architecture, or using modeling to deliver new software. ADM is related to the concept of [[reverse engineering]]. [[Software modernization]] is ''architecture-driven'' when there is the need to capture and retool various architectural aspects of existing application environments. This does not preclude source-to-source migrations (where appropriate), but encourages user organizations to consider modernization from an analysis and design based perspective. In doing so, project teams will ensure that obsolete concepts or designs are not propagated into modern languages and platforms. The bottom-line results deliver modernized systems that conform more effectively to current business practices and strategic requirements.<ref>{{cite book|author=Object Management group | title=Second Architecture-Driven Modernization workshop| url= http://www.omg.org/news/releases/pr2005/08-30-05.htm|date=October 24, 2005}}</ref>
