Model Driven Engineering – MDE is a development approach where models are set in the center of every engineering process. Its target is to guarantee significant rises in productivity, maintenance and interoperability. It’s increasingly more present in industry, not only in sectors as cyber-physical, as automotive and aircraft industry, but also in the IT sector, where low-code platforms are gaining popularity.

In the last decade, we have lived a paradigm change due to important advances in methodologies, processes and technologies, which guarantee the development of languages to specific domain and modelling technologies. Making language engineering easy.

In this presentation we will talk about the adoption of MDE and analyses the pros and cons, current obstacles; will make suggestions for a more effective adoption and challenge the academic community for future research.

Instituto Superior Técnico and Quidgest team up to promote this series of meetings, with guest speakers during lunch time.

APDSI, COTEC, CS03 from IPQ and Link to leaders also support this initiative.

Free inscriptions, limited capacity, previous registration required.

Light lunch offered to participants!
