Model-based development: Theory and practice (MBD-TP)

The aim of this course is to provide participants with the principles behind model-driven development of software systems and the application of such a methodology in practice. Modelling is an effective solution to reduce problem complexity and, as a consequence, to enhance time-to-market and properties of the final product. About this course Course modules: * Basic concepts of modelling; what are models, metamodels, model transformations, modelling languages * Model-Driven Engineering in practice; domain-specific languages, UML profiles, design, analysis, and implementation of software systems through model-driven techniques * Practical problems in modelling usage; evolution management, tool chaining Related industrial challenges addressed in the course * Foresee potentials and pitfalls entailed by the adoption of Model-Driven Engineering techniques in the current organisation setting * Draw a sustainable plan for introduction of modelling techniques in the development process. * Recognise tool maintenance and vendor locking factors
