Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) represents a approach that enables description of a problem that is decoupled from the details of a specific solution space

Abstract

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) represents a design approach that enables description of the essential characteristics of a problem in a manner that is decoupled from the details of a specific solution space (e.g., dependence on specific middleware or programming language). Within the scope of MDE research and development, software evolution and transformation at higher levels of abstraction have generated several new research topics, such as model-driven program transformation and model transformation by-example. This presentation provides a brief introduction to MDE with a specific focus on the capability to evolve software artifacts through model transformation and program transformation. The talk will highlight the need to involve end-users in the modeling process through various “By Demonstration” approaches.
