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
This year I'm involved in the program committee of the Foundations track of ECMFA. ECMFA 2016 is the 12th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications and is co-located with STAF 2016, on 4-8 July, 2016, in Vienna, Austria. Here are some core excerpts from the call for papers, which could be of interest for software … Continue reading ECMFA: 12th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications
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. An Industrial Experience

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
After almost one year of work, the result of our efforts finally came to light in late December 2014. Since it was almost Christmas time, we decided to wait 2014 for the launch. But now, here we are. OMG Press and Morgan Kauffman published our book: Interaction Flow Modeling Language: Model-Driven UI Engineering of Web … Continue reading The IFML book – OMG’s Interaction Flow Modeling Language explained
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
After three years of work, IFML 1.0 is finally approved by the OMG! The Interaction Flow Modeling Language was actually adopted one year ago, in March 2013, as Beta specification by the Object Management Group (OMG). Since then, the IFML Finalization Task Force worked hard to bring the specification to perfection. The OMG Architecture Board … Continue reading IFML 1.0: Interaction Flow Modeling Language approved by the OMG
