Abbrev Description
1G Introduced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the first cellular systems were analog. They were used for data just like land-based telephone lines are used for dial-up with analog modems. A handful of cellphone models could be adapted to laptop modems and transfer data at less than 15 Kbps while traveling. See also AMPS, TACS and NMT.
3G Data transmission
2G The second generation refers to digital voice cellphone systems deployed in the 1990s, which were based on GSM, TDMA or CDMA. Several so-called 2.5G (or 2G+) technologies added data services for Internet access and e-mail with typical downstream speeds ranging from 64 to 200 Kbps for the user. These include GPRS, EDGE and IS-95B. See GPRS, EDGE and IS-95.
2.5G 2.5G is a stepping stone between 2G and 3G cellular wireless technologies. The term "second and a half generation" is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet switched domain in addition to the circuit switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit switched data services (HSCSD) as well.
3G 3rd Generation. Refers to the current generation of data transmission capabilities over a cellular network in order to provide Internet access via smart cellphones. EV-DO, WCDMA, HSDPA, GPRS and EDGE are the major technologies in use, although GPRS and EDGE are often called 2.5G because of their lower speeds. See GAN, EV-DO, WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA2000, UMTS and 3GPP.

Abbrev Description
MDA
Model Driven Architecture
MDA is a software design approach for the development of software systems. It provides a set of guidelines for the structuring of specifications, which are expressed as models. Model-driven architecture is a kind of domain engineering, and supports model-driven engineering of software systems. It was launched by the [[#omg"|Object Management Group (OMG)] in 2001.
MOF
Meta-Object Facility.
MOF is an Object Management Group (OMG) standard for model-driven engineering.
Message-Oriented Middleware
MOM is software or hardware infrastructure supporting sending and receiving messages between distributed systems. MOM allows application modules to be distributed over heterogeneous platforms and reduces the complexity of developing applications that span multiple operating systems and network protocols. The middleware creates a distributed communications layer that insulates the application developer from the details of the various operating system and network interfaces. APIs that extend across diverse platforms and networks are typically provided by MOM.
MOXy
Model View Controller
MVC is a software architecture, currently considered an architectural pattern used in software engineering.

The pattern isolates "domain logic" (the application logic for the user) from the user interface (input and presentation), permitting independent development, testing and maintenance of each (separation of concerns). MVC pattern creates applications that separate the different aspects of the application (input logic, business logic, and UI logic), while providing a loose coupling between these elements.

NDA Non Disclosure Agreement, also known as a confidentiality agreement, Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA), Proprietary Information Agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement, is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential materials or knowledge the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to. It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or a trade secret

OCL Object Constraint Language
OCL is a declarative language for describing rules that apply to Unified Modeling Language (UML) models developed at IBM and now part of the UML standard. Initially, OCL was only a formal specification language extension to UML. OCL may now be used with any Meta-Object Facility (MOF) Object Management Group (OMG) meta-model, including UML. The Object Constraint Language is a precise text language that provides constraint and object query expressions on any MOF model or meta-model that cannot otherwise be expressed by diagrammatic notation. OCL is a key component of the new OMG standard recommendation for transforming models, the Queries/Views/Transformations (QVT) specification.
Object Management Group.
OMG is a consortium, originally aimed at setting standards for distributed object-oriented systems, and is now focused on modeling (programs, systems and business processes) and model-based standards.
OPAL
OnDemand Process Asset Library ( IBM).
The OnDemand Process Asset Library (OPAL) governs the way staff plans and executes projects and programs, and performs related organizational functions. The primary objective of OPAL is to provide a single reference point for all organizations regarding project management and related engineering.
OSD Open Source Definition ( IBM).
OSS Open Source Software.
Most of the popular OSS licenses (e.g. GPL, LGPL, CPL, MPL, Apache, BSD, X-11) have been certified "OSD-compliant" by the OSI and are listed on their website at: http://www.opensource.org/licenses.
