Obeo and AtlanMod are co-organizing an Eclipse DemoCamp in Nantes to celebrate the Helios release at the end of June. In the event, we will present some of our (many!) contributions to Eclipse (ATL, TCS, KM3, Megamodeling,AMW,...)

The event will be hosted at the École des Mines de Nantes on July 8 (18:00-21:00).

We are used to see all these reports from big consulting firms (as Gartner) announcing how many billions companies have spent on a given market (e.g. cloud computing, mobile app, iPads,...) during the last year and forecasting the evolution of the market in the next few years

Immediately I thought that this would be an easy way to make some money if a freelance had access to a code-generation tool able to generate MySQL scripts from UML diagrams automatically (e.g. my own UMLtoDB service :-) )

Time to review the five most popular blog eentries in April 2010 (according to your votes: number of votes=number of clicks on the post)are, in this order,:

• Discussion on the poor validation of UML Models in Eclipse UML2 tools
• Using model-driven reverse engineering to compute software metrics for your development projects
  

Workshop on OCL and Textual Modelling

Via Robert Clarisó , a link to a nice periodic table of visualization methods .

The classification of the methods is not very relevant but it's really nice to see a graphical example of each method to have an idea of what they looks like (hover over the cell of each method with the mouse).

After a first brainstorming session , we have developed our ideas about how cloud computing can change the way people use model-driven engineering nowadays.
