Contents

Model-driven software development means modeling software at a higher level of abstraction using a domain-specific language. The code is generated automatically to a large extent. By this way, software development can be greatly accelerated and simplified. In addition to the applications of existing domain-specific languages and code generators, techniques and tools are presented for developing new languages and generators.


Qualification Goals

Aim of the module:

  • Understanding the paradigm of model-driven software development,
  • Modeling and model-driven development of application software,
  • Knowledge of the core concepts and techniques of model-driven development,
  • Understanding the possibilities and limitations of model-driven software development,
  • Basic understanding of presented tools, deepened by exercises,
  • Practice of scientific working methods (recognition, formulation, solving problems, training of abstraction skills),
  • Training of oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen der Informatik sowie den Aufbaumodulen Softwaretechnik und Software-Praktikum vermittelt werden.


Applicability

The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)

  • B.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Data Science
  • M.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Mathematics
  • M.Sc. Business Informatics
  • LAaG Computer Science

When studying M.Sc. Computer Science, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Computer Science.

The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).

Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Praktischen Computer Science zugeordnet ist.
