 | | Where is MCSE coming from? |
|  | | The MCSE methodology was developed by Professor Jean-Paul Calvez and his research team at the University of Nantes, France (Ecole polytechnique de l’université de Nantes, formerly IRESTE). |
|
| What does MCSE stand for? |
|  | MCSE is a French acronym for Méthodologie de Conception des Systèmes Electroniques and can be translated as Co-design Methodology for Electronic Systems or CoMES Note: CoFluent Design’s MCSE has nothing to do with Microsoft’s Certified System Engineer. MCSE was created and published by Professor Calvez long before Microsoft used the MCSE acronym. |
|
| Can the MCSE methodology be used independently from the CoFluent Studio tools? |
|  | | Yes, the MCSE methodology defines a development process and graphical notations that can be used “on paper” without tools. However, CoFluent Studio enables developers to benefit from full support of the methodology in the tools and automation of productivity- and quality-enhancing tasks such as advanced graphical and textual edition, fully executable models, performances analysis, architecture exploration, automatic code generation, etc. |
