This book will show academics how to approach Metamodelling in such a fashion that their research outcomes are useful to industry; lecturers and educators how to teach Metamodelling to students so it is well understood and assimilated, industry methodologists how to utilize valuable Metamodelling ideas in their daily work and software tool developers how to incorporate the most innovative research outcomes into their products.Focusing on Metamodelling as a discipline, exploring its foundations, techniques and results and covering process, product and quality issues under a common framework, this is a unique and timely publication for all software engineering practitioners, academics and students interested in Metamodelling.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection of personal essays offers a reflective window into the life-long calling that is Shakespeare in the university classroom. It acknowledges the traditions in which these scholars work and the teachers who have advised and inspired them. Representing a broad range of approaches to the discipline and the profession, the essayists write about why teaching Shakespeare matters, and why they do it the way they do. Deliberately designed not to be a manual, this is a contemplative anthology of anecdotal and practical advice from experienced teachers, many of whom have been publicly honoured for their teaching. The essays are engagingly candid: reading them is like being a fly on the wall of some of the most exciting classrooms on both sides of the Atlantic.No one who teaches Shakespeare, or who is contemplating teaching it, will fail to be encouraged and instructed -- even mentored -- by the personal reflections found within this volume.
