Following up on my previous post on the actual "Engineering" contribution of Model Driven Engineering, here is the final result of the 2-day poll posted on twitter: While this is definitely not a statistically significant benchmark, I think it's a significant insight on the field and on how ourselves (MDE practitioners and researchers) see the … Continue reading No, MDE is not Engineering!
Within ModelsWard 2016, just after the opening speech I gave on February 19 in Rome, the opening panel has been about the current maturity of model-driven engineering. I also hosted a poll on twitter on this matter (results are available in this other post). I'm happy the panelists raised several issues I pointed out myself in the introduction … Continue reading How Mature is of Model-driven Engineering as an Engineering Discipline? – Panel with Manfred Broy, Paola Inverardi and Lionel Briand

On February 10, 2015 I gave a keynote at Modelsward in Angers, France. The speech focuses on the modeling of software UIs through graphical domain-specific languages and in particular shows the new standard adopted by OMG called IFML (Interaction Flow Modeling Language) at work. My presentation illustrates the basic concepts of IFML, presents the design … Continue reading Keynote speech on User Interaction Modeling at Modelsward 2015 in Angers

Front-end design of mobile applications is a complex and multidisciplinary task, where many perspectives intersect and the user experience must be perfectly tailored to the application objectives. However, development of mobile user interactions is still largely a manual task, which yields to high risks of errors, inconsistencies and inefficiencies. The contribution of the AutoMobile research … Continue reading Mobile app development – Extensions for IFML modelling language, tool and code generator presented at MobiWIS
This year, ICWE - International Conference on Web Engineering, took place in Toulouse, France. Given the upcoming adoption by the OMG - Object Management Group of IFML, I decided to give a tutorial on it there. IFML, the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is designed for expressing content, user interaction and control behaviour of the … Continue reading IFML – Interaction Flow Modeling Language 1.0 – My tutorial on UI and UX modeling & design at ICWE 2014
The paper "Textual and Content-Based Search in Repositories of Web Application Models" I co-authored together with Bojana Bislimovska, Alessandro Bozzon, and Piero Fraternali has now been published on the ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB). The article examines two different techniques for indexing and searching model repositories, with a focus on Web development projects encoded … Continue reading Textual and Content-Based Search in Repositories of Web Application Models – TWEB paper
Code Generation, the premiere venue for model-driven addicted, is back in Cambridge for 2014!If you are in the field of software modeling, software languages, design and development tools, model interpretation, executability and (of course) code generation, you should definitely attend the event.The conference is a great mix of presentations, workshops and hands-on sessions.We also gave … Continue reading Code Generation conference is back!
Along with the effort of disseminating IFML all around the world, I also gave some online webinars on IFML (the Interaction Flow Modeling Language). If you are interested in learning the basics of the language and on its integration with BPMN and UML, together with the enabled code generation options, you may want to watch … Continue reading Videos of the Webinars on IFML and its integration with BPMN and UML
