This book discusses how model-based approaches can improve the daily practice of software professionals. This is known as Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) or, simply, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). MDSE practices have proved to increase efficiency and effectiveness in software development, as demonstrated by various quantitative and qualitative studies. MDSE adoption in the software industry is foreseen to grow exponentially in the near future, e.g., due to the convergence of software development and business analysis.The aim of this book is to provide you with an agile and flexible tool to introduce you to the MDSE world, thus allowing you to quickly understand its basic principles and techniques and to choose the right set of MDSE instruments for your needs so that you can start to benefit from MDSE right away.The book is organized into two main parts. The first part discusses the foundations of MDSE in terms of basic concepts (i.e., models and transformations), driving principles, application scenarios and current standards, like the well-known MDA initiative proposed by OMG (Object Management Group) as well as the practices on how to integrate MDSE in existing development processes.The second part deals with the technical aspects of MDSE, spanning from the basics on when and how to build a domain-specific modeling language, to the description of Model-to-Text and Model-to-Model transformations, and the tools that support the management of MDSE projects.The book is targeted to a diverse set of readers, spanning: professionals, CTOs, CIOs, and team managers that need to have a bird's eye vision on the matter, so as to take the appropriate decisions when it comes to choosing the best development techniques for their company or team; software analysts, developers, or designers that expect to use MDSE for improving everyday work productivity, either by applying the basic modeling techniques and notations or by defining new domain-specific modeling languages and applying end-to-end MDSE practices in the software factory; and academic teachers and students to address undergrad and postgrad courses on MDSE.In addition to the contents of the book, more resources are provided on the book's website, including the examples presented in the book.Table of Contents: Introduction / MDSE Principles / MDSE Use Cases / Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) / Integration of MDSE in your Development Process / Modeling Languages at a Glance / Developing your Own Modeling Language / Model-to-Model Transformations / Model-to-Text Transformations / Managing Models / Summary

    Marco Brambilla is full professor at Politecnico di Milano. He is active in research and innovation, both at the industrial and academic levels. His research interests include data science, software modeling languages and design patterns, crowdsourcing, social media monitoring, and big data analysis.

    He is the founder of the startup Fluxedo, focusing on social media analysis and Social engagement, and of the company WebRatio, devoted to software modeling tools for Web, Mobile, and Business Process based software applications. He is the author of various international books and research articles in journals and conferences, with over 200 papers. He was awarded various best paper prizes and gave keynotes and speeches at many conferences and organisations. He is the main author of the OMG standard IFML. He participated in several European and international research projects. He has been reviewer of FP7 projects and evaluator of EU FP7 proposals, as well as of national and local government funding programmes throughout Europe. He has been PC chair of ICWE 2008, Berlin. He has been a PC member of several conferences and workshops, he organized several workshops and conference tracks so far, and he has been a reviewer for many scientific journals. He is the editor of Journal of Web Engineering and associate editor of various journals.

    "Born in 1976, I got my M.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering at Politecnico di Milano in 2001 (100/100 cum laude) and my Ph.D. in Information Engineering (outstanding work, mark A) in October 2005, with a thesis on modeling of service- and workflow- based web applications.

    I have been visiting researcher at Cisco Systems (San Josè, CA, USA) in 2001. The purpose of my stay was to validate the WebML methodology and language in a large scale industrial setting.

    I've been visiting researcher at UCSD (University of California, San Diego, CA, USA) in 2004, where I worked with prof. Vianu, Deutsch, Papakonstantinou. There, I had the opportunity of exploring the world of venture capitals and research exploitation in the US.

    I have been visiting professor at Dauphine University, Paris.

    I've worked on 5 European research projects, as well as with several companies for research exploitation and technology transfer (Acer, UniCredit, local govt. agencies, and many SMEs). I'm shareholder of the spin-off WebRatio and I'm interacting with several US companies for consultancy, standardization, and R&D activities.

    I have worked on various mainstream research topics (IFML, WebML, Search Computing, and Data Science) and I also had the opportunity of opening new research lines of my own.

    Within these research lines, I have dealt with several major companies, including Cisco, Microsoft-FAST, Yahoo! Research, Google Research, XEROX, HP Labs for joint research activities.

    I think that all those opportunities shaped my attitude towards the relation between research and applications. I'm involved in intensive publication, dissemination and research exploitation activities, as demonstrated by: more than 250 research papers (13 on journals, 2 books); a public blog (www.marco-brambilla.com/blog), and active presence in online research and technology communities; and involvement with WebRatio, Fluxedo, OMG, and industrial innovation projects."

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary book for the MDE discipline ...
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012
Verified Purchase
I rated this book with 5 stars because it is a book that fills a gap between the theory and practice in MDE. The book integrates the differents areas of MDE in one place and put them in a good perspective with a conceptual and integrated view. Because this knowledge area is new, is not common to find a book which explains all the implicated aspects. Brambilla, Cabot and Wimmer did it, excelent decision. The book includes an example of conceptual modeling showing the diferents techniques, tools and practices (based on Eclipse tools) that results very illustrative.

I higly recommend it.

Good introduction and catch up to the MDSE scene having seen early incarnations 5-8 years ago. Allowed me to formalize and correct some ideas I had in my head. Definitely worth a read if your looking at this area even if it's just to understand the negative feedback it gets from non believers and to look at the actual complexity of the problem it's trying to solve. Thought it was a little biased to EMF, but maybe I need a second read.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015

Brambilla, Cabot and Wimmer wrote an excellent book. I think that the book is a good contribution for Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) because the authors include a lot of MDE concepts with illustrative examples (modeling, transformation models, ). The book systematically explains the basic concepts of MDE, transformations and DSML (foundations and relationships) . The book allowed me to organize my ideas about MDE and MDSE because I think that the book is well organized.
Thanks for your work!!!

Great book for understand the principles of MDE, show the advantages and tools that at this moment is available for develop systems using different MD* arpoaches. Just take in count is only a first aproach if you want understand better some topic of this book it provides references and key words for make your own search.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAS Buch zum Thema
Reviewed in Germany on December 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
Das Buch hält was der Titel verspricht: praxisnahe Behandlung des Themas, aber nicht auf Tips & Tricks Level, sondern sauber aufgebaut und wohlfundiert.

Das Thema wird umfassend behandelt. Daher nicht nur für Einsteiger geeignet, sondern auch für Fortgeschrittene, die über den Tellerrand ihres Teilgebietes hinaus, das Thema umfassend verstehen möchten. Vorausgesetzt werden lediglich allgemeine Kenntnisse in Modellierung, z.B. mit UML.

Angenehm auch, dass das Buch nicht unnötig aufgeblasen ist (gibt's ja leider des öfteren bei solchen Themen). Schade, dass der Index fehlt, dafür gibt's eine ganz gute Website zum Buch (mdse-book com).

Eine ernstzunehmende Alternative zu diesem Buch ist mir derzeit nicht bekannt.

Reviewed in Spain on September 2, 2017

Un breve libro, con exactas indicaciones bibliográficas, y una presentación adecuada del problema del modelado y sus diferentes enfoques. Es un libro necesario para comenzar, y orientarse luego hacia aspectos más complejos y específicos. Su introducción es muy adecuada. Esta es la primera edición. La segunda da una vuelta más a estos elementos.

2.0 out of 5 stars zu theoretisch
Reviewed in Germany on April 22, 2015
Verified Purchase
Mir gefiel das Buch nicht - manche Teile waren brauchbar. Vor allem die Begriffsdefinition wie Model-Based-Engineering, was ist ein Metamodel usw. - man bekommt eine gute Übersicht über diese speziellen Techniken. Der Praxisteil kam mir aber zu kurz - leider Minibeispiele. Sachen wie Metamodeling, Model Transformation usw. sind nett - aber gehören wohl nicht zum alltäglichen Geschäft. "In Practice" ist wohl inzwischen ein gefährliches Wort ...
