The seminar will be two-fold:

1. One part will introduce basic MDSE concepts and, in particular, declarative MDSE.
2. The second part will present application scenarios in which we will use MDSE.

If you are interested in the seminar and lab attend the info meeting. The seminar topics listed below will be assigned to interested participants during the info meeting:

1. Basics: Ecore, EMF
2. Text to Model: Xtext / Grammar and Generation
3. Text to Model: Xtext / Customization
4. Text to Model: Xtend / Language
5. Model to Text: Xtend / Xpand
6. Model to Model: ATL

Preparation. Following the info meeting's assignment of individual topics, you will have time to

• study the provided material
• possibly gather more material
• try out tools
• structure the material
• gather open questions to be clarified
• make a mind map of the topic domain
• determine key concepts and the material to use for presenting them
  • definitions and examples,
  • source code
  • images, figures, tables, …

• → Monday, August 3 to Friday, August 7

Clarification. Each participant will be assigned a slot on Friday, August 7 (for discussing the above, and, most importantly, addressing all the problems that he / she still faces (unclear concepts, unclear presentation ideas, …)

Draft presentation . After clarifying the basic questions, continue your preparation and distill the information that you would like to present. Make a draft presentation that focuses on content

• main ideas
• order in which you want to present them (dependency graph)

• basic layout of the presentation (no animations yet)

If you send me the draft presentation by 24.8. you will get feedback and suggestions for improvement within at most two days.

• → 24.8.2015 Send draft presentation BEFORE this date
• ← 26.8.2015 Get feedback / tips for improvement

Rehearsal presentation. In the second week of October participants will deliver their draft presentation.

The draft presentation will be delivered live, as a general rehearsal, that is, not just the slides but by actually giving the talk. Then the participants will have two days left for including any remainings suggestions for improvement (slides and presentation / speech) and delivering their final presentation.

• → Sept. 29 rehearsal presentations ← make an appointment!
