This keynote discusses the development of Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) from its origins to the present day: It presents the components of models, modelling activities, and the challenges and open issues in MDSE. The keynote reviews the use of modelling languages and tools in MDSE processes. It concludes with a review of the still open relationships and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for software engineering, including MDSE, and the coming developments in the Internet of Collaboration for distributed MDSE.
