Welcome to the homepage of the department
Model-Based System Development (MBSD)
The main motivation for creating the section on Model-based System Development was the insight that model-based system development is becoming an increasingly important driving force in the software and hardware industry.
The topics driving the research carried out in the section on model-based system development are models and modeling. Models provide abstractions of systems, artificial or natural, that allow reasoning about properties of these systems, ignoring extraneous details while focusing on relevant ones. Explicit models have always played a key role in science and engineering. There is now a clear trend in computer and information science towards the systematic use of models as the primary artifacts throughout the engineering lifecycle of computer-based systems:
- Requirements, behavior, functionality, construction and testing strategies of computer-based systems are all described in terms of models.
- Models are not only used to reason about a system, but also used to allow all stakeholders to participate in the development process and to communicate with each other, to generate implementations, and to facilitate reuse.
The members of the MBSD section have expertise covering a broad range of topics concerning model-based system development, which is seen as a unique feature of the group with significant added value.
