Model Driven Engineering for Software Management
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is changing the way we build, we operate, and we maintain our software-intensive systems. Software models are being increasingly used in most areas of computer science. They allow working at a higher abstraction level and generating the executable programming code only at final implementation stages. 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. But the human skills necessary to handle these projects are currently not widely available. This diploma intends to contribute filling this gap.
International post-master's specialisation diploma
- The international MDE program is open to candidates with at least a scientific Master degree or equivalent with industrial experience in computer science.
- One semester of academic coursework (360 hours) at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes (in constant relation with the EMN researchers) combined with seminars, regular visits to successful MDE deployment sites, and group projects. A 6-month internship with a key player in the field (company or lab) to resolve an industrial problem of MDE application.
- Start of program: February 2010.
- Location: Ecole des Mines de Nantes, Nantes, France
- Rate of Studies: Full time with visits to applications sites.
