Abstract: Software prototypes have been used in information systems and software engineering as effective means of eliciting and validating user requirements. The essential part of developing a software prototype is the speed of its development. In general, the fast development is supported by software tools. In teaching software engineering, software prototypes are good means for motivating students. A software environment for developing pedagogical prototypes based on domain models, called Modelibra, is explained in this paper. A model contains concepts with properties and relationships with other concepts. Graphical user interfaces may be considered as user views of the model. Modelibra is main memory based to simplify and accelerate the model driven development of prototypes. The paper shows how a game, a graphical design tool and a web application may be prototyped with Modelibra.
