Full model-driven practice: From requirements to code generation

Abstract

A crucial success factor in information systems development is the alignment of the system with business goals, business semantics and business processes. Developers should be freed from programming concerns and be able to concentrate on these alignment problems. Model-driven system development (MDD) does not only provide a structured and systematic approach to systems development, but also offers developers the possibility of using model-transformation technologies to derive models of a lower abstraction level that can be further refined, and even generating software code automatically. This tutorial shows how to successfully integrate business process modelling (BPM), requirements engineering (RE) and object-oriented conceptual modelling with the objective of leveraging MDD capabilities. Participants work with state of the art modelling methods and code generation tools to explore different ways to match an information system with business requirements. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
