We have blogged before ( here and here ) about UML tools for the iPhone but those two tools were NOT modeling tools but a reference guide for the UML you could consult when drawing UML diagrams.

Jonathan Musset has just written a blog post on "Simple OCL" where he summarizes our discussion (by "our" I mean: Martin Gogolla, Jonathan Musset, Frédéric Jouault and myself) about possible ways to simplify the OCL. In particular, we focused on how to change the language to be able to write shorter OCL expressions. We tried to propose solutions that
would not break the language semantics and compatibility (e.g. by extending and overloading the OCL standard library)

Fiverr is the place for people to share things they're willing to do for $5.
If you go to the programming category you can see the list of programming tasks people are willing to do just for 5$. I think we should not sell so cheap! (and to the people ordering these services, do not complain about the quality of the service, for that price I would not expect too much testing). IMHO, some programmers should take some basic finance courses.

My latest addition to my list of recommended software engineering and modeling blogs is Richard Soley's blog .

As most of you already know, Richard is the Chairman and CEO of the OMG. His blog is a unique opportunity to get an inside view on what's going on at the OMG.

Novulo is a revolutionary model driven development platform for Microsoft.NET applications that dramatically improves and enhances the software development process. With Novulo, application modeling finally reaches the business domain. Or at least this is what they say. To find out more I scheduled an interview with Frank Wille (CEO of Novulo).

Next Monday we officially start the MDE Diploma - First International Post-Graduate Specialization Diploma on Model-Driven Engineering . The list of external lecturers we will have here in Nantes is impressive so I'm sure it's going to be a great success
