The term model engineering comprises different approaches of model driven software development such as model driven architecture (MDA), domain specific languages, software factories etc. All of these different approaches concentrate on a central model and not only on pure program code. During this lecture the different concepts, tools, and practical experiences from the field of model engineering will be examined. The lecture is split up into a theoretical part (this course) and an accompanying model engineering lab. Concepts from the field of meta-modeling, model transformation, code generation and textual modeling languages will be taught in this course. During the lab the students will be given practical assignments chosen from the topics of this lecture.
