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

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, either Algorithms and Data Structures or Practical Informatics II: Data Structures and Algorithms for Pre-Service-Teachers, System Software and Computer Communication, Software Engineering, either Software Lab or Software Lab for Business Informatics.
