EMD1: Model Driven Engineering Meets Eclipse Open Source

Jean Bézivin Université de Nantes

MDE (Model Driven Engineering) is under the spotlights in 2007. Microsoft is releasing the Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Tools and the Eclipse modeling activities are rapidly gaining high momentum. The presentation will focus on the Eclipse offering in the general field of MDE tooling. At the center there are the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP) with its various subprojects and components and the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF), providing strict or approximate implementations of OMG recommendations. However the process does not always follow the pattern of first normative recommendation then reference implementation. The dynamic and imaginative Eclipse community is frequently going ahead of established consensus, proposing new ideas intended to solve practical and important problems in advance of the normative process recommendations. These experimental initiatives are a great source of inspiration and are progressively shaping the landscape of modern modeling software production practices. Several components of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) or GMT (Generative Modeling Tools) will be particularly described as illustrations of the present state and trends. A global map of available and planned activities in the field will be drawn.

EMD2: With MDSD to more efficient Embedded Systems Engineering

Wolfgang Neuhaus itemis AG

Model Driven Software Development increases the possibility to reuse elements of former business software developments successfully. In the research project "mda for embedded systems" three partners under the special direction of itemis, push new developing methods for embedded systems based on Eclipse. The session describes first results and further directions.

EMD3: MDD with the Eclipse Modeling Tools

Markus Völter Independent Consultant (itemis)

Arno Haase Arno Haase Consulting

Sven Efftinge itemis AG

Bernd Kolb kolbware

This workshop is an introduction to Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) using the tools from the Eclipse Modeling Project. We will use the Eclipse Modeling Framework EMF, as well as the solutions for generating code, transforming models and for workflow orchestration. Participants should have a basic understanding of MDSD (terms, concepts). After the workshop, participants will be able to implement MDSD with the Eclipse-based tools we introduce. The workshop is based on a running example to illustrate concepts and tools. Participants are encouraged to bring their own (Windows) Notebook in order to follow the examples hands-on. No tool installation is required in advance, we will bring the respective tooling on CDs.

EMD4: Faster, better, more consistent: adding a Software Factory to Eclipse

Bastiaan Schönhage Compuware

Speed, quality and consistency are important ingredients of successful development projects. Developers are using patterns, best-practices and partial code generators in order to achieve this in their code base. However, success is not guaranteed. Using a software factory (with model-transformations and code-generators) the target software architecture can be enforced resulting in better software.

EMD5: The evolution of software development environments

Nuno Sebastiao European Space Agency

Usually software is developed using stovepipe approach which fails to deliver on large scale projects. Realizing this, ESA's EGOS initiative promotes product families based on a unified framework. In this presentation we discuss how this initiative leverages on two key aspects: MDSD and Eclipse and how ESA sees the evolution of software engineering and software development environments.

EMD6: Aufbau Eclipse-basierter MDSD-Plattformen

Wolfgang Neuhaus itemis AG

Viele Unternehmen setzen auf Eclipse für den Aufbau umfassender Plattformen für die modellbasierte Entwicklung eingebetteter Systeme, wie das Beispiel TOPCASED von Airbus zeigt. Doch wie lassen sich freie und kommerzielle Komponenten und Plug-ins dauerhaft zu einer unternehmensweiten, anpassbaren und pflegbaren MDSD-Plattform zusammenfügen? Die Session zeigt Ansätze dazu auf.

EMD7: Eclipse Code Camp Night

Wayne Beaton The Eclipse Foundation

Discuss details, news, tips, tricks in plug-in development and all other questions you might have regarding the Eclipse platform with Eclipse coaches and committers. Here you have the chance to solve problems, to develop and exchange new ideas and much more! Do not forget to bring your notebook! Coaches are Gunnar Wagenknecht, Bernd Kolb, Mik Kersten, Jochen Hiller, Wolfgang Neuhaus, Axel Terfloth, Frank Gerhardt, Jochen Krause, Benjamin Pasero, and several more.
