e-Book «Model-Driven Domain Analysis and Software Development: Architectures and Functions»

e-Book «Model-Driven Domain Analysis and Software Development: Architectures and Functions»
Model-Driven Domain Analysis and Software Development: Architectures and Functions displays how to effectively map and respond to the real-world challenges and purposes which software must solve. The implications can be far-reaching and apply to domains such as mechatronic, embedded and high risk systems, where failure could cost human lives. It is also important for complex business systems, wherein failures could lead to huge financial losses. This book forms an essential reference for developers and researchers by providing both cases and theories to ensure a strong and suitable domain analysis to support all other efforts when creating and applying software solutions.
