UML class diagrams easier to understand than ER diagrams
The paper presents the results of three sets of controlled experiments aimed at analyzing whether UML class diagrams are more comprehensible than ER diagrams during data models maintenance.
Combining Model Driven Engineering and Cloud Computing: MaaS (Modeling as a Service)
After a first brainstorming session , we have developed our ideas about how cloud computing can change the way people use model-driven engineering nowadays.
Physical Mobile Workflows
Roughly speaking, Physical mobile workflows are enhanced business processes that may include as workflow activities tasks resulting from the interaction of mobile devices with the physical environment.
Integrating MDD with Goal-oriented Requirements Engineering methods
During my 2-year postdoc in Toronto, I did some work with Eric Yu about the integration of GORE (Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering) and model-driven development methods.
The Model Transformation Jungle - Master Thesis by Philipp Huber
I've just found an interesting Master Thesis by Philipp Huber that evaluates and compares several model transformation approaches and tools. A summary poster with the main findings can be found here . There is even a simple tool that tries to recommend a specific language depending on your requirements.
Model-driven vs Model-started development processes
Rafael Chaves has just posted a new entry in his blog talking about the "Myths that give model-driven development a bad name".
OMG initiatives in the health domain
IT news online reports about the collaboration between the OMG (Object Management Group) and HL7 (Health Level Seven International) in order to develop new standards for the healthcare industry.
As Richard Soley (chairman of the OMG) summarizes:
Survey of Model-Based Systems Engineering Methodologies
Antonio Vallecillo sends me a link to a "Survey of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Methodologies"
The purpose of this report is to provide a cursory description of some of the leading Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies used in industry today. A MBSE methodology can be characterized as the collection of related processes, methods, and tools used to support the discipline of systems engineering in a “modelbased”
Robert L. Glass on Forgotten fundamental facts about Software Engineering
Very interesting article by Robert L. Glass about the Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering , a collection of vital facts that we should keep in mind when developing software.
What we actually know about software development by Greg Wilson
Today seems to be "the recommendation day". For those of you that do not follow (yet) Greg Wilson's I'd like to recommend Greg's presentation "Bits of evidence: What we actually know about software development and why we believe it's true" where he discusses the low standards for proof in software engineering (too many claims without any kind of empirical validation) and how we can start addressing this situation.
