List of Executable UML tools
It looks like Executable UML is getting increasingly popular (again) maybe because the new Executable UML standards (fuml and Alf) we have now available. Executable UML aims at defining UML models with a behavioral specification precise enough to be effectively executed. In its purest state, Executable UML eliminates the need of programming the software system.

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,
Textual models and visual programs
Textual notations for modeling languages are becoming increasingly popular (you just need to see the growing list of textual UML tools) and I do believe they are useful in a number of scenarios (sorry, but I don’t buy they are always better!). What I didn’t know is that programmers (well, at least one of them
Bridging the gap between Modelling and Programming with XMF and XModeler
Today we have a guest post by Tony Clark where he introduces us to his innovative XMF and XModeler tools for bridging the gap between modeling and programming. Enjoy! Modelling and programming have traditionally been seen as separate activities. Their respective technologies tend not to integrate. This is frustrating because models usually represent executing systems
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.
A source-code marketplace
Just discovered Binpress , a source-code marketplace where software developers can buy and sell source-code from each other: Our goal is to create a market complimentary to free open-source, in which professional developers have an incentive to produce and distribute professional, tested, production quality code. Software ventures and development projects can purchase feature-sized code packages, reducing time and costs and allowing them to focus on the unique problem they are trying to solve.
Forum discussion: Relationship between Programs, Models and Systems
I don´t usually announce IN the blog new forum threads (you can subscribe TO the portal´s main feed FOR this) but I find the ongoing discussion ON the relationship BETWEEN programs, models AND systems (AND now also including LANGUAGE vs notation replies AND MORE) specially interesting. Have your saying!
Who owns the copyright when implementing an algorithm described in a journal?
Curious question IN the business OF software forum : “If I implement an algorithm published in a computer science journal using the formulas, pseudocode and description in the publication, do I retain the copyright of my source code?”
The New Executable UML Standards: fUML and Alf
IN this SECOND post (READ the FIRST one here ), Ed Seidewitz talks about the new executable UML standards: fUML AND Alf. AS editor OF the fUML specification AND PRIMARY author OF the Alf specification (apart FROM Vice President OF Model Driven Architecture Services AT Model Driven Solutions ) who better than him TO DESCRIBE these new standards?. Hope you enjoy his post!
