| Features | Design for Operations:
The Distributed System Designers are the first deliverable of the Dynamic Systems Initiative, aimed at improving the design and validation of distributed systems
Tightly Integrated:
Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Architects integrates tightly with the Visual Studio Team System, allowing architects to communicate efficiently with all members of the software development lifecycle. Create, view, or assign work items, and share artifacts easily among all members of the team
Generate Code from Application Design:
Use the Distributed System Designers to generate all the software artifacts necessary to begin development right away, or use the Distributed System Designers to reverse-engineer an existing distributed application
Continuous Synch:
The Distributed System Designers treat models as first-class citizens in the development lifecycle and provide a continuously synched view of the code. This trip-less round-tripping ensures that the model remains up-to-date with the code at all times
Rich, Extensible Infrastructure:
Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Architects offers a rich, extensible infrastructure for customers and third-parties to build upon
Integrated Partner Solutions:
Leverage integrated partner solutions to extend the Distributed System Designers to provide support for management and deployment of distributed applications
Customize and Extend:
Model new application types or application hosts using the System Definition Model (SDM) SDK or extend existing SDM models. Use the SDM SDK to create new resources and model non-Microsoft application hosts and servers. The System Definition Model (SDM) SDK is part of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK
