This book focuses on the methodological treatment of UML/P and addresses three core topics of model-based software development: code generation, the systematic testing of programs using a model-based definition of test cases, and the evolutionary refactoring and transformation of models. For each of these topics, it first details the foundational concepts and techniques, and then presents their application with UML/P. This separation between basic principles and applications makes the content more accessible and allows the reader to transfer this knowledge directly to other model-based approaches and languages. After an introduction to the book and its primary goals in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 outlines an agile UML-based approach using UML/P as the primary development language for creating executable models, generating code from the models, designing test cases, and planning iterative evolution through refactoring. In the interest of completeness, Chapter 3 provides a brief summary of UML/P, which is used throughout the book. Next, Chapters 4 and 5 discuss core techniques for code generation, addressing the architecture of a code generator and methods for controlling it, as well as the suitability of UML/P notations for test or product code.  Chapters 6 and 7 then discuss general concepts for testing software as well as the special features which arise due to the use of UML/P. Chapter 8 details test patterns to show how to use UML/P diagrams to define test cases and emphasizes in particular the use of functional tests for distributed and concurrent software systems. In closing, Chapters 9 and 10 examine techniques for transforming models and code and thus provide a solid foundation for refactoring as a type of transformation that preserves semantics. Overall, this book will be of great benefit for practical software development, for academic training in the field of Software Engineering, and for research in the area of model-based software development. Practitioners will learn how to use modern model-based techniques to improve the production of code and thus significantly increase quality. Students will find both important scientific basics as well as direct applications of the techniques presented. And last but not least, the book will offer scientists a comprehensive overview of the current state of development in the three core topics it covers.

Lebenschancen werden heute immer stärker durch Schul-, Berufs-, Hochschul- und Weiterbildung bestimmt. Die Autorin untersucht die Durchlässigkeit zwischen Berufs- und Hochschulbildung - eine wichtige Voraussetzung zur Ermöglichung der Teilhabe an Bildung und Gesellschaft - im Vergleich zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich. Im Fokus stehen dabei Stabilität und Wandel auf institutioneller Ebene und der Einfluss der europäischen Bildungsprozesse seit Ende der 1990er Jahre sowie ihre re-/produktive Bedeutung im Bezug auf soziale Bildungsungleichheiten. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Nachwuchspreis Bildungssoziologie der Sektion Bildung und Erziehung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie. Life chances today are increasingly determined by school, vocational, university and further education. The author examines the permeability between vocational and higher education - an important prerequisite for enabling participation in education and society - in comparison between Germany and France. The focus is on stability and change at the institutional level and the influence of European educational processes since the end of the 1990s as well as their re-/productive significance in relation to social educational inequalities. Awarded the Young Investigators' Prize for Sociology of Education by the Education Section of the German Society for Sociology.

This book links ethical leadership theory to the implementation of improved leadership practices, particularly in highly operational environments. It builds on the recognition that bad forms of leadership lead to declining motivation and consequently to problems in the social climate and quality of work in organizations and the personal health of employees. It is based on a qualitative study from 100 in-depth interviews using inductive categorization, retrieving deep, rich and unprompted data from a highly developed and advanced production facility. The book reviews the current state of research in this field and describes the setup of the underlying study, linking it to the author’s professional experience. It discusses the research design, its testing and its adaption to organizational practice. The book presents the findings of the study, introduces specific issues arising from the analysis, then critically discusses the interpretation of the findings and matches these with theoretical concepts. One finding of the study is that CSR and ethics are too often implemented with a focus on governance, process and reporting, without looking at leadership on all levels as the critical component. Finally it discusses the conclusions and implications derived from the findings. Overall, the book critically assesses how ethical leadership can be practically implemented in business organizations as a means of transforming organizations into better-governed institutions that exhibit ethical behavior.

Die vorliegende aktualisierte Auflage des 1998 erstmals erschienenen Bandes versteht sich als Synthese für eine (primär studentische) Leserschaft, die sich mit der Geschichte und den Erscheinungsformen, dem soziolinguistischen Status und den Problemen des Französischen außerhalb Frankreichs vertraut machen will. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf den frankophonen europäischen Ländern Schweiz, Belgien und Luxemburg sowie Québec und Afrika (Schwarzafrika, Maghreb). Den Portraits der Sprachgebiete sind drei einführende Kapitel vorangestellt: In Kapitel 2 werden die Begriffe francophone/francophonie beleuchtet; Kapitel 3 befasst sich mit grundlegenden Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Erforschung der français régionaux, und Kapitel 4 ist den Typologisierungsversuchen für den an unterschiedlichen soziolinguistischen Konstellationen reichen espace francophone gewidmet. Die Kapitel zu den Sprachgebieten sind ähnlich aufgebaut und bieten Informationen über die aktuelle Situation (Sprachenrecht, Demographie), die Geschichte des Sprachraums, den Stand der linguistischen Beschreibung und Fragen der Sprachnorm. Jedes Kapitel mündet in Arbeitsaufgaben zur Vertiefung einzelner Aspekte des Informationsteils. Eine repräsentative Bibliographie schließt den Band ab. The updated edition of this textbook provides basic information about the history, manifestations, and sociolinguistic status of the French language outside France. It focuses on the Francophone European nations and on Québec and Africa. Work assignments are included at the end of each chapter on individual language areas, and the volume is rounded out with a representative bibliography.
