Short Description

The original description for this course (on Minerva) is:

Object-oriented, UML-based software development; requirements engineering based on use cases; using a coherent subset of UML and OCL to establish complete and precise analysis and design documents for a software system; Java-specific mapping strategies.

However, model-driven engineering nowadays is not exclusively based on UML, but rather uses the most appropriate modelling formalism(s) at each development phase to express the concerns at hand. I am therefore planning to introduce alternative modelling notations in this course this year as well, in particular URN and AoURN (the User Requirements Notation and its aspect-oriented extension) and Reusable Aspect Models (an aspect-oriented software design notation).
