The MDE Diploma, a proposed curriculum in Model Driven Engineering

MDE in a nutshell

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is changing the way we build, we operate, and we maintain our software-intensive systems.

MDE provides a new conceptual framework and a set of tools to separate and to combine the multiple aspects and views present in modern complex systems.

Several projects using MDE practices are reporting significant improvements in quality and performance.

An ideal study environment

NANTES is the 6th Town in France andone of the mostliveable city in all of Europe” It is located50km from theAtlantic Coast.

Paris-Nantes :2 hours by TGV.

The area of Nantes is well known for its eagerness in fostering innovation in software engineering, particularly in MDE. Several companies have pioneer record in the area of reverse engineering of legacy systems, software modernization, management of information systems in the banking industry and electronic government services.

We need now to teach MDE

Move from object technology to modelengineering:

Probably much more difficult than themigration from procedural technology

to object technology in the 80's.

In MDE: Research & Teaching are related

"Teaching reduces the gap [between theory and practice] and research increases it again"
