KEYNOTE TALKS

In a break from tradition our two keynotes joined forces and delivered both keynote talks as a team:

MDD: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Wednesday 17th June
Model driven development has become a well-established approach to software development that is used by many organizations. It is not bleeding edge anymore. In this two-part keynote Steven Kelly and Markus Völter summarize their experience in using MDD in many different environments. They show what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid pitfalls. Topics covered include domain analysis, language design, model processing, as well as organizational and process related challenges challenges.

MDD: The Best, The Worst and The Ugliest: Thursday 17th June
This second part of Markus and Steven’s two-part keynote provides even more lessons learned on model driven development. As a consequence of the two speakers' different backgrounds and different tool preferences, the best practices are not tool specific.
