With Aldo Bongio (WebRatio), Jordi Cabot (ICREA and UOC), Hamza Ed-douibi (EMN) and Eric Umuhoza (Politenico di Milano), we worked on a research on Automatic Code Generation for Cross-platform, Multi-Device Mobile Apps. We presented our study at the MobileDeLi workshop, where we reported on a comparative study conducted to identify the best trade-offs between different … Continue reading Automatic Code Generation for Cross-platform, Multi-Device Mobile Apps.

Textual and Content-Based Search in Repositories of Web Application Models – TWEB paper
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
Gems on MDE and UML by Jean Bézivin (and others)
I'd like to share and write down in a more permanent way some thoughts and messages I recollected from yesterday's twitter interactions with Jean Bézivin on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) and UML.I'm sure future generations will appreciate my writeup of these small, hidden gems that otherwise would have gone lost in the Twitter flurry 🙂 . … Continue reading Gems on MDE and UML by Jean Bézivin (and others)
At full throttle towards IFML with WebRatio
With its updated site and recent blog post from its CEO Stefano Butti, WebRatio is allowing its customers to move at full throttle towards the new OMG standard IFML, the Interaction Flow Modeling Language.In particular, WebRatio is now granting the availability of both an opensource IFML editor with proof of concept implementation of integrated fUML and Alf runtime … Continue reading At full throttle towards IFML with WebRatio
IFML is now adopted and published by OMG, Wikipedia, and YouTube
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
Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) adopted as a standard by OMG
It's with great pleasure and also some pride that I'm announcing that the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) has been adopted as a standard by OMG during the technical meeting held in Reston, VA this week.This is an important result we have been pursuing for more than two years now (and ultimately have its roots … Continue reading Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) adopted as a standard by OMG
Daniel Moody on "Designing diagramming notations that work": the physics of notations
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

Code Generation 2012 – from geeky (programming) interfaces to user interfaces
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
Presentation at Code Generation 2012: User Interaction Modeling: current status of the standardization process
Together with Emanuele Molteni, I will give a speech at Code Generation 2012 on: User Interaction Modeling: current status of the standardization process, from the requirements to the language.In this presentation we will go through our 15-years experience of user interaction modeling for the Web, based on WebML and WebRatio, and we will delve into … Continue reading Presentation at Code Generation 2012: User Interaction Modeling: current status of the standardization process
