AI-enhanced Model-driven engineering – Sosym Journal Special Issue
After witnessing the growing interest in the combination of AI and Model-driven engineering (see for instance our MDE Intelligence workshops at Models but similar workshops have popped up in other conferences, like ER , as well), we are now organizing the special...
JSOI: An EMF model interchange format for efficient model management
JSOI is your model interchange solution if you want the ability to retrieve subsets of elements by type, lazy evaluation of references or get element demographics without element loading.
Improving research quality thanks to modeling tools: model-based analysis of process descriptions
The quality of process descriptions in research is essential to reproducibility and theory building.
We suggest that model-based analysis can contribute to the improvement and concise communication of such descriptions. We demonstrate this by applying a model-based framework – PROVE – to restructure and analyze several process descriptions.
SEET: Symbolic Execution of ETL Transformations
Find logical errors in model transformations by means of applying symbolic execution methods.
Conceptual modelling for the rest of us with ConML
Modelling is a useful technique for shaping, exploring, documenting, understanding and communicating artefacts of many kinds, and not only software. ConML is a conceptual modelling language for non-experts in information technologies and especially suited to serve non-software modeling domains.
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
Automatic Generation of Behavioural Scripts from UML sequence diagrams
Specification of sequence diagrams is not easy. They are more complex than they appear to be and support provided by most UML modeling tools is often limited (e.g. no advanced checking).
Low-code development platform Generative Objects : the journey to open source
The journey to create, and then make fully open source, a low-code development platform. Empowering citizens to develop the services they need.
A Chatbot DSL based on State Machine semantics
Our new Chabot DSL, based on state machine semantics, facilitates the creation of bots with complex conversational flows and maximizes the reuse of bot parts in future projects
MDE Intelligence (2020 edition)
It's undeniable that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of everyone's life. It is used by companies to exploit the information they collect to improve the products or services they offer and, wanted or unwanted, it is present in almost every device around...
The Effect of Textual vs Graphical Representations on Software Design Communication
In a study that was published at MoDELS conference in 2018 [1], I reported the results of observing the development efforts of two Software Engineering projects that used Model-based approaches to develop software for two self-driving rovers. I found that most of the...
