<html>MODELS 2015<br /><br />09-28<br /><br />Informal discussion<br /><br />Florian Noyrit from CEA: developer of Element Type Framework in Papyrus<br /> - the framework makes model editing easier by adding model elements not to exposed by the user<br /> - definition of the Element Types are modeled, complex behavior can be added in Java<br /> - no documentation yet, but will be a presentation during EclipseCon in November<br /> - Papyrus Mars uses this framework<br /><br />I have talked to someone from a Canadian company creating avionics software. He was interested in txtUML. I have his mail address and we have to send him links and information.<br /><br />OCL and Textual Modeling Workshop<br /><br />An Adaptable Tool Environment for High-level Differencing of Textual Models<br />- combining the advantages of line-based and structural differencing<br />- 3-way merging is not supported<br />- not integrated with EMF-compare, have an own UI<br /><br />Ed Seidewitz: Combining Alf and UML in Modeling Tools<br />- they are working on Alf integration in Papyrus<br />- bidirectional mapping between Alf metamodel and UML metamodel with QVT<br /> - but roundtrip is not possible for action code (not one-to-one mapping)<br /> - mapping the structure is one-to-one<br />- initial Alf text is generated from the graphical structure model into the Properties view<br />- editing the Alf text updates the graphical model (eg. adding operations)<br />- Xtext integration sometimes failed during the demo<br /> - solution: switch to another property, then back, or delete and write the code again :)<br />- breakpoint support is not implemented for the Alf editor<br />- anyway, the demo was nice, but there is a lot they are still working on<br />- the software is available as incubation component for Papyrus - predicted to be stable after Neon<br /><br /> </html>
