itemis AG, based in Lünen (North Rhine-Westphalia), is a German software company in the domain of model-driven software development (MDSD).

History

itemis AG was founded in 2003 as a GmbH & Co. KG by Wolfgang Neuhaus and Jens Wagener. In September 2007 the change of the legal form took place. itemis AG is one of the largest IT companies in the Lünen region. The company's headquarters are located on the premises of the LÜNTEC Technology Center. There are branch offices in Bonn, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Meldorf, Leipzig, Berlin, Paderborn, and Stuttgart. International offices exist near the French capital of Paris and since 2009 in Windisch in the Swiss canton of Aargau.[3]

Business

itemis AG is doing business in the field of model-driven software development (MDSD). After MDSD was first introduced primarily in the development of enterprise applications, itemis AG has been applying these approaches for several years now to the development of embedded systems, as used in aircrafts, cars or manufacturing plants. Tools (editors, generators, validators) are required to support model-based development processes. itemis AG develops such tools, puts them under an open-source license and makes them available under the umbrella of the Eclipse project.

In the scope of model-based development procedures, itemis AG conducts research projects regarding practicable transfers of research results and their further development. For example, model-driven development procedures for the development of embedded systems, based on the Eclipse project, were devised in the context of the MDA4E research project. Further research projects are dealing with the model-driven development of product management systems, the integrated specification of mechatronic products and production systems, the reuse of simulation models and the construction of model repositories. Research partners are Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Fachhochschule Dortmund)[4], Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster[5], Paderborn University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology[6][7] in Karlsruhe, German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) headquartered in Cologne, and Leipzig University.

Research results and practical experience are publicly discussed and published through events of the Special Interest Group Model Driven Software Engineering. Furthermore, itemis AG is represented in the Gesellschaft für Informatik's working group for model-driven software architecture and in the BITKOM industry association's strategy circle for software-intensive, embedded systems. Employees of itemis AG have written technical books on model-driven software development.[8][9][10][11] itemis AG employees have also repeatedly published articles in journals, e.g. in Javaspektrum[12][13], in Javamagazin[14][15][16][17][18][19][20], in OBJEKTspektrum[21], in Computerwoche[22], in Elektronikpraxis [23], and in Eclipse Magazin[24].

itemis employees held talks at technical conferences such as OOP[25] and Embedded World[26].

itemis AG has been licensed by the Scrum.org organization to carry out certification classes for the agile project management method Scrum.[27] Furthermore, itemis AG employees wrote a book on agile project management with Scrum.[28]

Eclipse

itemis AG is one of twelve strategic members[29][30] of Eclipse Foundation, the umbrella organization of the Eclipse project. The company has one seat on the Board of Directors[31], which corresponds to voting rights of currently (February 2017) 5.9 percent. Furthermore, itemis AG founded the Xtext project and managed the Eclipse Modeling Framework project in collaboration with Ed Merks.
