Synthesis Lectures on Software Engineering. This book discusses Model Driven Engineering (MDE), which is the use of model-based approaches to improve the daily practice of software professionals. MDE practices have proved to increase efficiency and effectiveness in software development, as demonstrated by various quantitative and qualitative studies. MDE 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 the reader with an agile and flexible tool to introduce you to the MDE world, thus allowing users to quickly understand its basic principles and techniques and to choose the ideal set of MDE instruments so that readers can start to benefit from MDE right away. The book is organized into two main parts: Part one: the foundations of MDE in terms of basic concepts (i.e., models and transformations), driving principles, application scenarios, and current standards, such as the well-known MDA proposal by OMG as a standard instantiation of MDE. This section contains an overview on the concepts of modeling languages. Part two: the technical aspects of MDE, spanning from the basics (of when and how to build a domain-specific modeling language), to the description of Model-to-Text and Model-to-Model transformations, the practices on how to integrate MDE in existing development processes, and the tools that support the management of MDE projects. This section also includes a comprehensive case study that summarizes the introduced concepts. 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 make 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 MDE for improving daily work productivity, either by applying the b
