02341: Course on Model-based Software Engineering (f16)

Schedule and Material
 

This is a preliminary schedule for the course Model-based Software Engineering (02341) in spring 2016. On this page all the relevant material will be made available while this course is running.

 

The first lecture starts on Friday, Feb. 5 at 815 in lecture hall 308.11. The tutorials will be held from about 1000 in the hallway on the first floor of building 308 (in front of and around the lecture hall 308.11). For the tutorials, please bring your own computer, and please install Eclipse (Mars) with the Eclipse Modeling Tools before the first tutorial (as explained in the first task of the first assignment).

 

The plan also indicates, at which times there will be lectures (L:), tutorials (T:), and work on or discussions of the projects (P:). For the lectures and tutorials, the material will be made available within the timetable below shortly before or after the resp. lectures.

 

Please note that this is a preliminary schedule and the exact topics and used time slots for lectures and tutorial are subject to change. The deadlines for the deliverables (submissions) and the final presentation, however, are fixed.

 

Note: For your convenience, you will find the links to all material that is made available here also on a separate material page, that is organized chronologically: http://www2.compute.dtu.dk/courses/02341/f16/update-log.shtml#latest.
