Distribute Manufacturing Architecture is an implementation of ADS for factory automation which has been developed and maintained by a technical committee at MSTC/JOP in Japan. Its broadcast-type protocol enhances ease of construction, fault tolerance and maintainability of systems. MDA protocol is understood as observer pattern in the design-pattern point of view. The committee released second version of MDA protocol to enhance flexibility of message syntax.
