L'ingénierie dirigée par les modèles (MDE) est une approche émergente du développement de logiciels. Les principaux concepts en MDE sont les modèles et les transformations. Un modèle est une représentation de son sujet, décrivant uniquement les aspects pertinents de celui-ci. Les sujets de ces modèles sont des aspects du système logiciel en cours de développement. Les langages de transformation de modèles (MTL) sont souvent mis en oeuvre en utilisant une approche traditionnelle de la conception des langages, à l'aide d'un compilateur ou d'un interprète dédié. Nous explorerons...

This book presents an attempt to understand the nature of technical artefacts and the way they come into being. Its primary focus is the kind of technical artefacts designed and produced by modern engineering. In spite of their pervasive influence on human thinking and doing, and therefore on the modern human condition, a philosophical analysis of technical artefacts and engineering design is lacking. Among the questions addressed are: How do technical artefacts fit into the furniture of the universe? In what sense are they different from objects from the natural world, or from the social...

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) ist ein neuer Ansatz in der Softwareentwicklung. Die wichtigsten Konzepte im MDE sind Modelle und Transformationen. Ein Modell ist eine Darstellung seines Gegenstands, die nur die relevanten Aspekte des Gegenstands beschreibt. Die Themen dieser Modelle sind Aspekte des zu entwickelnden Softwaresystems. Modelltransformationssprachen (MTL) werden oft unter Verwendung eines traditionellen Ansatzes für den Sprachentwurf implementiert, wobei ein spezieller Compiler oder Interpreter verwendet wird. Wir werden eine alternative Methode untersuchen, nämlich die...

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, all of us consider ourselves to be citizens of something - but of what? Nation-states? Regions? Ethnic groups? Corporations? An accomplished set of meditations by one of Europe's leading Americanists, Them and Us is a rich comparative study of European and American cultural traditions and their influence on conceptions of community. In contrast with the ethnic and nationalist allegiances that historically have splintered Europe, Rob Kroes identifies a complex of cultural practices that have mitigated against ethnically rooted divisions in the United...

Historians and philosophers of technology are searching for new approaches to the study of the interaction between science and technology. New conceptual frameworks are necessary since the idea that technology is simply applied science is nothing short of a myth. The papers contained in this volume deal primarily with cognitive and social aspects of the science-technology issue. One of the most salient features of these papers is that they show a major methodological shift in studying the interaction between science and technology. Discussions of the science-technology issue have long been...

The Dutch scholar Rob Kroes argues that American culture is modular, continually fragmenting, disassembling, and reassembling itself - and in the process creating something new. In a series of topical essays that show why he is one of Europe's leading authorities on American culture, Kroes probes trends in American advertising, the image of the Vietnam war in American films, the implications of American vernacular culture as represented in rap music, and other topics.
