First version now available! – Building chatbots as use case for your modeling course with Xatkit
I know how difficult is to teach modeling and model-driven engineering. I failed myself. But I think a cool use case such as creating chatbots could be a way to motivate students to learn MDE.
Requirements-to-Deployment CI/CD Project Generation & Scaffolding with RealMethods
realMethods generates more than just application source code; it generates entire DevOps projects. Without realMethods, a typical DevOps project requires several manual configuration tasks and commits to a version control system.
Modeling should break free and become an independent discipline
We always talk about software modeling. Or systems modeling. But shouldn’t we just talk about modeling? It’s time modeling flies solo!
GDF: a Gamification Design Framework powered by Model-Driven Engineering
GDF is a model-driven engineering framework that comprises a set of DSLs to model, generate and deploy gamified applications.
WAPIml: Towards a Modeling Infrastructure for Web APIs
From OpenAPI to UML and back! – A tool to reverse engineer your web APIs, modify the resulting UML model and regenerate the OpenAPI file from it.
Modeling Patterns for Roles
Roles are meant to capture the dynamic and temporal aspects of real-world objects. Modeling roles is one of the trickiest aspects in conceptual modeling. Here I present you my solution in the form of a conceptual modeling pattern for roles
Slack as a UML modeling tool with Natural Language
Ever thought about using Slack as your front-end modeling tool? See how you can ask your UML Slack Chatbot App to create UML elements using commands in Natural Language
GoJS – a JavaScript and TypeScript library for implementing interactive diagrams
Choose from over 200 sample applications. Build interactive diagrams quickly and easily with GoJS.
Systematic Approach to Generate a Diverse Set of Model Instantiations
When testing or validating a model we need a diverse set of instances that helps us to analyze the different ways such model can be satisfied. Our work uses classifying terms and constraint strengthening to generate such diverse set.
How are UML Class Diagrams built in practice? – A usability study
See some conclusions on the usability of UML tools after analyzing over 10h of video recordings of students trying to draw a UML class diagram. Hint: there is plenty of things to improve.
Is there a future for Model Transformation Languages? (survey results + tell us what you think of them!)
Are you using model transformation languages to manipulate your models? If not, why? Should we just get rid of all transformation languages and use plain Java?. Participate in this discussion about the future of model transformations.
