Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) aims to support the development and evolution of software intensive systems using the basic concepts of model, metamodel, and model transformation. In parallel with the ongoing academic research, MDSD is more and more applied in industrial practices. Like conventional non-MDSD practices, MDSD systems are also subject to changing requirements and have to cope with evolution. In this chapter, the authors provide a scenario-based approach for documenting and analyzing the impact of changes that apply to model-driven development systems. To model the composition and evolution of an MDSD system, they developed the so-called Model-Driven Software Evolution Language (MoDSEL) which is based on a megamodel for MDSD. MoDSEL includes explicit language abstractions to specify both the model elements of an MDSD system and the evolution scenarios that might apply to model elements. Based on MoDSEL specifications, an impact analysis is performed to assess the impact of evolution scenarios and the sensitivity of model elements. A case study is provided to show different kind of evolution scenarios and the required adaptations to model elements.

Model-driven software development is surrounded by numerous myths and misunderstandings that hamper its adoption. For long, our students were victims of these myths and considered MDSD impractical and only applied in academy. In this paper we discuss these myths and present our experience with devising an MDSD course that challenges them and motivates students to understand MDSD principles. The main contribution of this work is a set of MDSD teaching guidelines that can make the course pragmatic in the eyes of students - programmers. These guidelines introduce MDSD from the viewpoint of a programmer as a pragmatic tool for solving concrete problems in the development process. In our MDSD course we implemented the presented guidelines. The course shows several techniques and principles of model-driven development in multiple incremental iterations instead of concentrating on a single tool. At the same time we unite these techniques by using a dynamic visualisation tool that shows to the students the whole infrastructure in the big picture. The course is implemented as an iterative incremental MDSD case study. The paper concludes with a survey performed with our students that indicates positive results of the approach.

Resumen Los Servicios Web Semánticos ofrecen beneficios, que coadyuvan a la evolución de la Web, como el descubrimiento, invocación y composición dinámica y automática de recursos, habilitan efectivamente la interoperabilidad entre sistemas, permitiendo una amplia gama de nuevos servicios y oportunidades de negocios en la Internet. La estructura necesaria para proveer estos beneficios, hace que su desarrollo sea un proceso complejo, requiriendo establecer formas más fáciles y dinámicas que garanticen reutilización, calidad y rapidez. El desarrollo dirigido por modelos realiza una contribución eficiente en estos aspectos, dado que trabaja de manera intrínseca conceptos como separación de conceptos, reusabilidad e interoperabilidad entre componentes. En este artículo se presenta un enfoque para desarrollo de software dirigido por modelos, orientado al desarrollo de los servicios web semánticos, donde inicialmente se plantean las fases correspondientes al análisis, diseño y desarrollo dentro de la metodología propuesta, aplicando la metodología sobre un pequeño caso de estudio y obtener como resultado la estructura de un Servicio web semántico. Palabras Clave: Servicios web semánticos, Desarrollo dirigido por modelos, ontologías web.   Abstract Semantic Web Services offers benefits that contribute to Web evolution. Benefits such as automatic discovery and invocation, and dynamic composition, effectively enables systems interoperability, allowing a wide range of services and Internet businesses. The necessary structure to provide those benefits by Semantic Web Services makes its development a complex process. It necessary to establish more easy and dynamic ways to develop this kind of software, in order to assure reuse, quality and speediness in the development process. The model-driven software development makes an efficient contribution in those aspect, because it works intrinsically concepts related such separation of concerns, reusability and components interoperability. In this paper we present an approach to model-driven development software applied to Semantic Web Services. First, we establish the phases corresponding to the analysis, design and development in the proposal methodology, by applying it to a case of study we obtain the structure of a Semantic Web Services. Keywords: Semantic Web Services, Model-Driven Development, Web Ontologies.
