A Perl implementation of the UML metamodel

camel_head.v25e738a

I’m aware that Perl is not exactly the most popular language nowadays but nevertheless I think it is remarkable to find a UML metamodel (v. 1.5) implementation written in Perl: UMMF From the web page: UMMF allows you to control how your Model will be translated into code; add your special archtectural or environmental support

Summary of the 2nd day of the Int. Conf. on Model Transformation 2011

As for the summary of the first day I’ll use my tweets and, specially, Richard’s ones to summarize in a few words the highlights of the second day of the conference. Here we go:   J. Kuster talking about test suite quality for model transformations #icmt11#tools11 model transformation chains are complex pieces of software #icmt11#tools11 how to

Summary of the 1st day of the Int. Conf. on Model Transf. 2011 (courtesy of Richard Paige)

The who is who of model transformations is here at Zurich to participate in the 4th Int. Conf. on Model Transformation. For those that could not attend this very interesting event (and I’m not saying this because of my involvement in it ) deserve a summary of what’s going on here. I was unable to

Next week is modeling week

Next week we will discuss the latest innovations in the field of model transformations at ICMT 2011 , new advances on OCL and other textual modeling languages at OCL 2011 and the recent development in ATL at MtATL2011, just to mention the events that AtlanMod is co-organizing in the TOOLS federated conference series to be

Refining/refactoring transformations in ATL

ATL has now a new refining execution mode!.

The refining execution mode has been introduced in ATL to ease the programming of refining (or refactoring) transformations. The main characteristic of a refining transformation is that the output model is very similar to the input one. A typical scenario is when the transformation implements some kind of refactoring on the input model.

Two upcoming workshops: ATL workshop and OCL and Textual Modeling Workshop

AtlanMod IS involved IN the organization OF two very interesting workshops co-located WITH TOOLS 2011 Federated Conferences :

Transformation Tool Contest

Last Friday I sat down (virtually) with the organizers of the Transformation Tool Contest (TTC): Pieter Van Gorp , Steffen Mazanek and Louis Rose

ICMT 2011 (International Conference on Model Transformation) – Poster and web online

Thanks to Davide Di Ruscio (ICMT’11 Web Chair) the website for the next International Conference on Model Transformation is now live here: www.model-transformation.org/ .

From UML/OCL to natural language (using SBVR as pivot)

Validation OF UML/OCL models require that business stakeholders make sure that the designers “defined the right domain models” (instead, during verification we need TO make sure designers “defined the domain models right”).

Since it IS unlikely that stakeholders will be able TO directly READ AND understand the UML/OCL models, we need TO reexpress those models IN a LANGUAGE that they may understand. TO this END, we have developed a method that paraphrases UML/OCL class diagrams TO generate a description OF the model contents AND rules IN NATURAL LANGUAGE.
