| Teaching Staff in Charge |
Lect. CHIOREAN Ioan Danut, Ph.D., chiorean cs.ubbcluj.ro |
| Aims |
|
- To teach students about new concepts, trends and techniques used in software development.
- To present the role of modeling, metamodeling and programming with models. - To explain why these trends appeared, exemplifying by problems, aspects of software development that can be solved by applying the new techniques. - To highlight the advantages of using the new technologies and tools against using "classical" technologies and tools (between 1980 - 2000) - To stimulate students' participation in extending and developing the new concepts, beyond understanding and using them. |

| Assessment |
|
Each student must defend a report about an interest topic for this course and realize a small project using a modeling tool. The report (including the seminar activity) and the project will be marked on a scale from 1 to 10. The final examination will be done in the form of a written test marked similarly. The mark obtained will be the average of the above mentioned marks. |
