Interdisciplinary	No
ECTS	6

Educational goal:

Getting knowledge about advanced techniques and methods of domain specific modeling and the development of domain specific languages.

Educational outcome:

The acquired knowledge is used in practice, particularly in projects including system specification and development. It is applicable in all problem domains, where meta-meta models are to be used and specific meta-models are to be developed together with domain specific languages so as to solve practical problems.

Course content:

Domain specific modeling methods and techniques. A notion and role of a meta-meta model. MOF 2.0 and the equivalent meta-meta models. Software tools for domain specific modeling. A notion, role, taxonomy and evolution of domain specific languages. Domain specific language development methods. Software tools for domain specific language development. Domain specific language implementation techniques. Methods and techniques of the problem domain analysis. Applications of domain specific languages in the domain specific modeling. Model transformations. Program code generators. Applications of domain specific modeling and languages in various problem domains.

Teaching methods:

Teaching is performed through lessons, oral and computer exercises (in the computer classroom), as well as consultations. Through the teaching process, students are constantly motivated to an intensive discussion, problem oriented reasoning, independent study work and active participation in the whole lecturing process. The prerequisite to enter final exam is to complete all the pre-exam assignments by earning at least 30 points.
