[Choose-news] REMINDER -- CHOOSE talk in Bern Tue Jan 24 @ 17h15 -- Two or three things I have learned about model-driven development

The CHOOSE executive board and the Software Composition Group of the University of Berne are pleased to invite you to a presentation. When: Tuesday 24th of January, 2006, @17h15 Where: Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Title: ==== Two or three things I have learned about model-driven development Abstract: Model-driven development (MDD) of software applications is currently gaining a lot of attention. On one hand, the OMG (Object-Management Group) is undertaking a significant standardization effort to promote the MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) initiative, a body of standards for model-driven development. On the other hand, practitioners try to understand what MDD is meaning for them and how this approach might affect the software development processes. In both cases, early experience reports are relevant to better understand how the MDD vision can be turned into reality. In this talk we report on the experience gathered in developing and using a model-driven CASE tool for Web information systems. Hopefully, lots of this experience can be generalized and applied to other kinds of model-driven developments. This talk will highlight the issues encountered, detail their rationales and consequences and offer general statements of direction widely applicable to model-driven development, so that this experience may be useful to any kind of MDD effort. Bio: === Pierre-Alain Muller is an associate professor of Computer Science at the University of Mulhouse, France; he is currently spending two years with INRIA in Rennes, France.
