As model-driven engineering practitioners, we sometimes encounter weird modelling notations for the languages we use... and this is also definitely true for modelling language adopters! We always end up wondering who could ever think about such or such terrible syntax for a language, also for very well established notations (including, for instance, some pieces of … Continue reading Ready to crowdsourcing your modeling language notation?
Daniel L. Moody from University of Twente gave a talk (and a full fledged tutorial) at OMG technical meeting in Reston, VA, on the principles for designing effective diagramming notations. His talk had this overall design:(click to enlarge)Daniel Moody wrote a famous paper on IEEE Transactions of Software Engineering titled:The “Physics” of Notations: Toward a … Continue reading Daniel Moody on "Designing diagramming notations that work": the physics of notations
