Model-Driven Software Design

This course presents the fundamental principles and practices for designing and implementing software applications following the model-driven design methodology. This course introduces current model-based engineering techniques, the concepts of PIMs (platform independent models) and PSMs (platform specific models), the use of model transformations, and the design pattern for component -based systems development.

At the end of the course students are able to address the design and documentation of medium-size software projects. They have skills on developing complete UML models and developing Java code from models. They have also skills on design and architectural patterns
