Model Driven Software Development With Uml And Java

Model-driven Software Development with UML and Java

Model-Driven Software Development

Abstraction is the most basic principle of software engineering. Abstractions are provided by models. Modeling and model transformation constitute the core of model-driven development. Models can be refined and finally be transformed into a technical implementation, i.e., a software system. The aim of this book is to give an overview of the state of the art in model-driven software development. Achievements are considered from a conceptual point of view in the first part, while the second part describes technical advances and infrastructures. Finally, the third part summarizes experiences gained in actual projects employing model-driven development. Beydeda, Book and Gruhn put together the results from leading researchers in this area, both from industry and academia. The result is a collection of papers which gives both researchers and graduate students a comprehensive overview of current research issues and industrial forefront practice, as promoted by OMG’s MDA initiative.

Model-driven Software Development with UML and Java

Aimed at 2nd and 3rd year/MSc courses, Model Driven Software Development using UML and Java introduces MDD, MDA and UML, and shows how UML can be used to specify, design, verify and implement software systems using an MDA approach. Structured to follow two lecture courses, one intermediate (UML, MDA, specification, design, model transformations) and one advanced (software engineering of web applications and enterprise information systems), difficult concepts are illustrated with numerous examples, and exercises with worked solutions are provided throughout.
