Model Driven Enterprise Engineering (MDEE) is a concept proposed by Know Gravity, a company based in Zurich, Switzerland, that has been active in modeling and requirement engineering since 2000.They propose a pragmatic approach to integration of OMG and non-OMG modeling specification, so as to cover all the modeling needs of the enterprise (and not only … Continue reading Model Driven Enterprise Engineering (TM)
Along with the continuing consolidation process of the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) within OMG, we are now starting our effort of documenting and disseminating IFML.The three most recent resources I wish to point at are:Official publishing of IFML in the OMG specification catalogA new Wikipedia page on the languageA new demonstration video on the … Continue reading IFML is now adopted and published by OMG, Wikipedia, and YouTube
After a semester in teaching model driven software engineering in my Advanced Software Engineering course at Politecnico, I feel the urgency of echoing once again a few words about the reason of models, inspired also from some content in our last book on Model-driven Software Development, or MDSE (see more here or on www.mdse-book.com).By the way, … Continue reading Reason and meaning of (top) models
Model-Driven Software Engineering in Practice. See more on www.mdse-book.com. I'm really proud to announce that a huge joint effort with Jordi Cabot and Manuel Wimmer has finnally reached his end. Our new book on model-driven software engineering, on which we have been working for almost one year, is finally published! The book is titled Model-Driven Software … Continue reading My new book on Model-Driven Software Engineering

For the second year, I've been attending the event called Code Generation, held in Cambridge, UK and organized by Software Acumen. For the second year, the event has been a quite good mix of practitioners, vendors and experienced evangelists.During the event, Emanuele Molteni (product manager of WebRatio) and I have given a talk on User … Continue reading Code Generation 2012 – from geeky (programming) interfaces to user interfaces
Tamer Ozsu gave a 1 hour seminar on RDF Data Management today at Politecnico di Milano.Tamer Ozsu, University of WaterlooWhat I found intriguing is the database and modeling perspective he has on RDF.We all know that RDF is a machine readable format for describing resources on the web based on triples. A triple is a … Continue reading RDF Data Management. Talk by Tamer Ozsu at Politecnico di Milano
I think it's time for Model Driven Software Engineering practitioners (and lurkers) to touch base, see where we are and where we are heading to, and finally spread the world.That's why I felt the need of a comprehensive and agile reference on the topic, and having not found one that fits the needs of both … Continue reading Touch base on Model Driven Software Engineering: MDE, MDD, MDA and (other) stuff. What about a new book?
I recently happened to read this abstract of Friedrich Steimann's verdict on MDA/MDD:Models have their greatest value for people who cannot program. Unfortunately, this is not because models are more expressive than programs (in the sense that they are capable of expressing complex things in a simple manner), but because they oversimplify. To make a … Continue reading Models and reality: upon the verdicts on MDA/MDD
Here are the responses I gave on Jordi Cabot blog (www.modeling-languages.com) on the issue of business process modeling and of the new CFP for a UML profile for BPMN.Mixed feelings - but clear understanding Submitted on Thu, 09/16/2010. I have mixed feelings about this issue: first, about the objective of the move; second, about the … Continue reading Posts on BPM and UML interaction
