First 50 terms in the MDE Glossary
The first milestone of our MDE Glossary has been achieved this week. Slow but steady, the first 50 terms are now in. Many more are still missing but we’ll go there. By the way, the order in which I add terms in the Glossary is completely random. The first 50 are neither the most important
SFM-12 MDE Summer School
Formal methods are emerging in computer science as a prominent approach to the rigorous design of computer, communication and software systems. The aim of the SFM (International School on Formal Methods) series is to offer a good spectrum of current research in foundations as well as applications of formal methods, which can be of interest
Integrating APIs in the modeling realm
This guest post by Javier Cánovas describes API2MoL for bridging the API and MDE technical spaces. For a complete information, see the paper “API2MoL: Automating the building of bridges between APIs and Model-Driven Engineering” co-authored by Frédéric Jouault, Jordi Cabot and Jesús García Molina. APIs are a very important part of any software application/service. Therefore,
CoFluent Design (MDE approach for embedded systems) bought by Intel
In another great success for our “Modeling Valley” in Nantes, CoFluent design has announced they have been bought by Intel (announcement in English in their home page, an interview in French here). Cofluent was specialized in providing modeling tools for the design and simulation (especially performance simulation) of mixed HW/SW systems like embedded devices. For
New book: Building Enterprise Systems with ODP
Building Enterprise Systems with ODP: An Introduction to Open Distributed Processing is a new book by Peter F. Linington, Zoran Milosevic, Akira Tanaka and Antonio Vallecillo that “sets out a systematic approach to the design of large complex distributed systems, such as enterprise systems, using the concepts and mechanisms defined by the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (ODP).
Launching the work on (my) MDE Glossary
The MDE space is becoming more and more crowded every day (new tools, technologies, concepts,… pop up every few months). I’m afraid this is starting to scare new potential MDE adopters that get lost in all the buzzwords and jargon that gets thrown to them when trying to approach our world. Therefore, and in line
MDE equation: models + transformations = software
I think it’s time to revisit Niklaus Wirth famous equation: Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs from a MDE (didactic) perspective. I propose the following MDE equation: Models + Transformations = Software Of course, it’s a simplification of the reality (well, in the same way Wirth’s one was, in both cases we omit, for instance,
Open source projects using MDE?
Michalis Famelis asked in facebook a very interesting question that I’d like to reproduce here: Are you aware of any open source projects actually using MDE? (Apart from open source MDE tools -eg EMF, etc- themselves I mean.) If yes, please add the name/link as a comment. If not, what does this mean for MDE?
Our upcoming book: Model-Driven Software Engineering
I’m very happy to announce that we ( Marco Brambilla, myself and Manuel Wimmer) are working on a Model Driven Software Engineering book to be published next Spring (if everything goes according to the plan ) by Morgan&Claypool. Read the rest of the post to learn more about what is the book about and why we though
Not a programmer, still a Developer
It doesnt seem TO be a consensus IN the community regarding the meaning OF the words programmer AND developer so I feel free TO give my opinion ON this.
