Domain-Specific Modeling with IBM Rational Software Architect, V7.5

Overview

This course provides an introduction to domain-specific modeling in IBM Rational Software Architect. The course describes the characteristics of domain-specific languages (DSLs) and the advantages of domain-specific modeling (DSM). Using a simple case study, the course also describes and demonstrates how to design and implement DSLs in UML with UML profiles, and how to generate executable code from a domain-specific model.

Public

This intermediate course is for:
