Heinrich Hussmann ist Professor für Medieninformatik an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) und hat dort den einführenden Vorlesungszyklus für das Studium der Medieninformatik konzipiert. Seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit ist besonders von der Softwaretechnik geprägt. Vor dem Hintergrund einer mehrjährigen Industrietätigkeit als Systemingenieur engagiert er sich besonders für die Vermittlung von praxisrelevantem, aber nicht zu schnell veraltendem Grundlagenwissen.

From the reviews:"This book extensively discusses various model-driven user interface approaches for enhancing the quality of user-centered services and empowering end users to actively collaborate with various agencies involved in the software development life cycle. ... The book provides comprehensive reviews of MDD and addresses future directions for convergence among those involved in the process, including software engineers, practitioners, architects, academics, business enterprises, and researchers."
