itemis AG, headquartered in Lünen (North Rhine-Westphalia), is a German IT consulting and software development company, active among other things in the field of model-driven software development (MDSD). With the YAKINDU product family, itemis sells a number of self-developed software products.

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 in the Brambauer part of town.

Other German locations are in Berlin, Bonn, Essen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Heide, Leipzig, Paderborn, and Stuttgart. International locations exist in Vélizy-Villacoublay near the French capital Paris and since 2017, in the Tunisian capital Tunis.

From 2009 to 2020, itemis was also represented in Windisch in the Swiss canton of Aargau.[4] On 2020-12-11, itemis Schweiz GmbH was renamed Arcware GmbH;[5] itemis AG ceased to be a company partner.

Business

Thematic fields

Itemis AG offers consulting services and software development in various areas of modern IT,[6] including data science (artificial intelligence, machine learning), smart technologies (smart home, IoT, industry 4.0), web development, IT modernization, software & systems engineering, usability engineering, and agile software development.

Software development

To implement software development projects, itemis AG frequently uses its expertise in building domain-specific languages and in model-driven software development (see below).

The company is frequently represented with presentations or as an exhibitor at IT events and other business events in various industries. It also offers its own events on the subject of software development.[7]

Products

Under the YAKINDU brand itemis AG offers a family of its own software tools:[8]

Model-driven software development

itemis AG was initially active in the field of model-driven software development (MDSD). After MDSD was first introduced primarily in the development of enterprise applications, itemis AG also transferred these approaches to the development of embedded systems, which are used, for example, in aircraft, cars or production facilities.

Development tools

Tools (editors, generators, validators) are required to support model-driven development processes. itemis AG initially developed such tools under an open-source license and made them available under the umbrella of the Eclipse project.

Research projects

Since 2005, itemis AG has participated in 22 research projects, according to their own statements,[9] and has also held the project management for some of them. This also included the management of research projects for the practical transfer and further development of research results within the context of model-driven development techniques. Within the scope of the MDA4E research project, model-driven development methods for the development of embedded systems based on the Eclipse project were developed. Further research projects dealt 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 were Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Fachhochschule Dortmund),[10] Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster,[11] Paderborn University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology[12] [13] in Karlsruhe, German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) headquartered in Cologne, and Leipzig University.

Publications and lectures

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.[14] [15] [16] [17] Itemis AG employees have also repeatedly published articles in journals, e.g. in Javaspektrum,[18] [19] in Javamagazin,[20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] in OBJEKTspektrum,[27] in Computerwoche,[28] in Elektronikpraxis,[29] and in Eclipse Magazin.[30]

itemis employees held talks at technical conferences such as OOP[31] and Embedded World.[32]

Scrum

itemis AG has been licensed by the Scrum.org organization to carry out certification classes for the agile project management method Scrum.[33] Furthermore, itemis AG employees wrote a book on agile project management with Scrum.[34] Today, itemis AG offers preparatory courses for Scrum certifications, which are approved by TÜV Süd.[35]

Eclipse

Itemis AG was at times one of twelve strategic members[36] [37] of Eclipse Foundation, the umbrella organization of the Eclipse project, and was represented on the board of directors.[38] Today, the company is a solution member[39] of the Eclipse Foundation.

Itemis AG founded the Xtext and Xtend projects and managed the Eclipse Modeling Framework project in collaboration with Ed Merks.

Itemis AG is one of the founding members of the OpenADx working group within the Eclipse Foundation.[40] OEMs from the automotive industry, tool manufacturers, and developers are working together here to create better compatibility, common interfaces and broader interoperability of software for autonomous driving. This is how OpenADx aims to accelerate innovation and productivity. Other founding members are AVL, Bosch, Eteration, IBM, JC Information Management, Red Hat and Siemens.
