Navigability of associations is NOT a conceptual modeling concern
Please do not define any direction in your associations when creating your domain models. This is part of a further refinement during the design phase.
Software Modeling with Office (what’s wrong with me?)
We keep using excel, word, powerpoint and other drawing tools to model our software systems. What is wrong with us? Or maybe current modeling tools are to blame for this?
Beyond low-code/no-code: no-learn and low-modeling software development
Not all low-code/no-code tools are the same. We talk about two especially useful subcategories: no-learn and low-modeling Another software revolution in the making?
Future Modeling Trends
A few ideas on where modeling (and modeling tools) should go next, including alternative interfaces, benefitting from AI advances and evolving towards a more personalized notion of modeling
