The book "Model-Driven Software Development" offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of model-driven software development. It highlights the fundamental role of abstractions and models in software engineering and demonstrates how these models can be refined and translated into technical implementations. The structure of the book is divided into three parts: the first part addresses the conceptual foundations, the second part focuses on technical advancements and infrastructures, while the third part presents practical experiences from real projects. The authors, including Volker Gruhn, have compiled contributions from leading researchers in industry and academia to address both current research questions and industrial practices. This book is aimed at researchers and students who wish to engage with the latest developments in the field of model-driven software development.
