Description
This course covers the concepts, principles, techniques and tools used in conceptual modelling of large-scale enterprise information systems as well as their implementation using model-driven engineering (MDE) appoaches. We cover the models and notations used in the requirements analysis and high-level design phases of the software development process using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Students will also explore model implementation using a low code platform.
Course objectives
In this course, students will learn and practice with all aspects of model-driven engineering of entreprise software systems. At the end of the course, students will be able to:
Understand and apply the key building blocks of the core UML models, including class diagrams, use case diagrams, and activity diagrams and several supporting models, such as component diagrams, life-cycle diagrams, and sequence diagrams.
Understand the different ways in which UML is applied in projects: white boarding; documentation; code generation; executable models.
Describe and use the core functionality of commercial UML modelling and MDE tools, as well as advanced research tools for AI driven requirements analysis and prototyping.
Create a complete UML model that captures requirements and high-level design.
Develop a low code prototype implementation of the requirements model and high-level design.
Timetable
In MyTimetable, you can find all course and programme schedules, allowing you to create your personal timetable. Activities for which you have enrolled via MyStudyMap will automatically appear in your timetable.
Additionally, you can easily link MyTimetable to a calendar app on your phone, and schedule changes will be automatically updated in your calendar. You can also choose to receive email notifications about schedule changes. You can enable notifications in Settings after logging in.
Questions? Watch the video, read the instructions, or contact the ISSC helpdesk.
Note: Joint Degree students from Leiden/Delft need to combine information from both the Leiden and Delft MyTimetables to see a complete schedule. This video explains how to do it.
Mode of instruction
The course includes theory as well as an in-depth team based practical component that focuses on the requirements analysis of an end to end application and its prototype development on a low code platform. The course consists of interactive lectures and working group sessions.
Assessment method
All assignments are team based:
Create UML diagrams, compose them into a complete design report, and present your design: 50%
Develop a prototype implementation of a subset of your design in a low code platform, write a brief implementation report, and demo your prototype: 40%
Active participation and contribution to team work: 10%
The teacher will inform the students how the inspection of and follow-up discussion of the assignment results will take place.
Reading list

Lecture slides will be made available online.
Registration
As a student, you are responsible for enrolling on time through MyStudyMap.
In this short video, you can see step-by-step how to enrol for courses in MyStudyMap.
Extensive information about the operation of MyStudyMap can be found here.
There are two enrolment periods per year:
Enrolment for the fall opens in July
Enrolment for the spring opens in December
See this page for more information about deadlines and enrolling for courses and exams.
Note:
It is mandatory to enrol for all activities of a course that you are going to follow.
Your enrolment is only complete when you submit your course planning in the ‘Ready for enrolment’ tab by clicking ‘Send’.
Not being enrolled for an exam/resit means that you are not allowed to participate in the exam/resit.

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
