Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Many training events and research tool demonstrations have been held, and recorded, in order to help increase the visibility and easy of adoption of model-driven engineering.
Seedcorn projects have been funded, to support emerging collaborations between model-driven engineering experts and people working in other academic disciplines and in industry.
An Annual Symposium was held and well attended.
A community platform was established, and learning resources developed.
An Education Platform has been developed to lower the barrier to entry of using MDE tools.
Exploitation Route Others may use the Education Platform, the Learning Resources, the Success Stories and other documents found on the MDEnet site, and the recordings of MDEnet events, in order to ease the adoption of MDE technology.
Sectors Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software)
