Program

The MES User Conference 2018 turned its focus towards agile software development. Agile methods have become state of the art in software development. Agile teams are able to react to changing requirements, delivering intermediate solutions for rapid feedback. Model-based development, by its very nature, contributes to early validation and is hence in line with agile principles. We addressed the following questions: What are the challenges in agile model-based software development? How are challenges addressed?
