Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) is currently a highlyregarded development paradigm among developers and researchers.With the advent of OMG's MDA and Microsoft's Software Factories,the MDSD approach has moved to the centre of the programmer'sattention, becoming the focus of conferences such as OOPSLA, JAOOand OOP. MDSD is about using domain-specific languages to create models thatexpress application structure or behaviour in an efficient anddomain-specific way. These models are subsequently transformed intoexecutable code by a sequence of model transformations. This practical guide for software architects and developers ispeppered with practical examples and extensive case studies.International experts deliver: * A comprehensive overview of MDSD and how it relates to industrystandards such as MDA and Software Factories. * Technical details on meta modeling, DSL construction,model-to-model and model-to-code transformations, and softwarearchitecture. * Invaluable insight into the software development process, plusengineering issues such as versioning, testing and product lineengineering. * Essential management knowledge covering economic andorganizational topics, from a global perspective. Get started and benefit from some practical support along the way!

Energy-Efficient Retrofit of Buildings by Interior Insulation: Materials, Methods and Tools offers readers comprehensive coverage of current research in German Language Countries. Chapters provide an overview on the development of energy efficiency for building retrofits and the role of internal insulation, cover materials with chapters on Brick, Wood, Plaster, Clay, and Natural Stone, explain the impact of internal insulation in those materials and how to cope with problems such as moisture build, mold and algae growth, provide practical advice on how to apply internal insulation in the most effective way, including Salt Efflorescence, Noise Protection, Fire Prevention, and more. The practical approach of the book, with examples in all chapters, makes it valuable for Civil and Architectural Engineers involved with building retrofit. The book may also be useful to researchers in the field of Building Physics due to the breadth of the coverage. Introduces methods and tools through application examples Presents theory and simulations with practical information to validate models Explores a wide variety of materials and applications Features examples of Residential, Commercial and Historic Buildings Covers all stages of the retrofit process, from planning to inspection and how to avoid damage
