+====== Course "Programming automation" (PA) ======
+The course is delivered to MIPT DIHT first year graduate students in Spring 2017 as an alternative course.
+Professor: Anton Khritankov (contact: prog.autom (at) gmail.com)
+===== Course Syllabus =====
+Course includes five major topics that automate software development:
+  * model driven software development (MDSD) via generic modeling techniques (e.g. Executable UML, xtUML etc.)
+  * MDSD via domain-specific models (DSM)
+  * model-based testing (MBT)
+  * machine learning in software engnieering
+  * industrializing model-driven development in software factories
+Lectures are complemented with three labs:
+  * UML Basics lab introduces students to UML modeling
+  * in xUML Lab students develop a sample application using model-driven technology with UML
+  * in DSL Lab students build a metamodel and implement a custom domain-specific language
+There are 32 lecture hours and 16 lab hours in the course (a 2-hour lab each two weeks).
+Course starts **16.02.2017**.
+Extended course syllabus can be downloaded {{apmdd:apmdd:apmdd-spring2015.doc|here}} (in Russian).
+Exam questions from year 2014 can be found {{apmdd:apmdd:билеты.doc|here}} (in Russian)
+===== Schedule =====
+Schedule will be adapted to project needs.

+===== Individual assignments =====
+Individual assignments are given throughout the course. A list of available assignments to choose from is TBD (e.g. read a paper). See also [[apmdd:mdd:start|Model-Driven Software Development Library (in Russian)]]
+===== Grading =====
+There is a final exam for the course. Exam schedule will be announced later.
+Unless “fast win” the final grade (FG) includes:
+  * exam - 75%
+  * individual assignments - 25%
+If you complete a Fast Win project:
+  * exam - 25%
+  * individual assignments - 25%
+  * fast win - 75%
+(sum is 125%)
+Students with Fast Win > 7 before exam may skip the exam.
+===== Fast wins =====
+Fast win is an assignment, completion of which allows for getting the final grade.
+**Code generator**
+Topics: UML, Code generator
+Implement an MDA tool chain for UML 2 using XMI, XML and Groovy as target platform. Follow the ideas of Executable UML.
+Note: A proof-of-concept implementation (PoC) is sufficient
+**DDD framework**
+Topics: DSL, Code generator
+Implement a DDD framework that generates Web pages and DB schema from ECore data model.
+**State-transition test generator**
+Topics: UML, Test generator
+Develop a test generator tool from state machines that uses SCXML and support all-states coverage criteria. Assume that conditions and triggers are written in Java.
+**Functional test generator**
+Topics: DSL, Test generator
+Develop a DSL for specifying use-cases and develop a functional test generator from models in this DSL
+**TODO: more projects will be added**
+===== Fast win evalutation =====
+Fast wins are graded on a 1..10 scale.
+A solution is graded 3 if the following holds
+  * you can demonstrate the working program that solves the original task on a specific example you've prepared
+  * source code of the program does not depend on the example
+  * basic understanding of how program works
+A solution is graded 6 if the following holds
+  * the program solves the original task without you overseeing it on a couple of different examples, some of which prepared not by you
+  * implementation uses knowledge from the course program
+  * throughout understanding of program internals and ability to quickly solve any errors
+A solution is graded 9 if the following
+  * the program solves the original task on many valid examples including unknown and handles errors gracefully
+  * implementation uses knowledge from the course
+  * throughout understanding of program internals and ability to promptly introduce any feasible modifications to the program on demand
+Intermediate gradings are given if only some of the requirements stated above are fulfilled
+Use of any third-party libraries, applications or code in addition to the specified in the assignment is subject to approval from your TA or Professor.
+Personal contribution to the solution of the assignment shall be significant and demonstrate your skill and knowledge of the course material.
