This is our perspective on the world: it's all about modeling. So, why is it that model-driven engineering is not taking over the whole technological and social eco-system? Let me make the case that it is. In the occasion of the 25th edition of the Italian Symposium of Database Systems (SEBD 2017) we (Stefano Ceri … Continue reading Modeling, Modeling, Modeling: From Web to Enterprise to Crowd to Social
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!
Here is a short clip of the interview regarding the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) recorded in March 2015, in occasion of the release of IFML 1.0. In the interview we discuss with Richard Soley about the relevance of user interaction modelling, the way it can be integrated with broader modelling projects, and the impact … Continue reading Video of the Interview with Richard Soley (OMG) on IFML and user interaction modelling
Cloud computing is enormously promising in terms of providing scalable and elastic infrastructure for software applications, as well as innovative business opportunities. However, its complexity (both in terms of understanding and adoption) is often underestimated. That's why Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), whose focus is to elevate conceptual models to first class artefacts of the software development … Continue reading The Cloud meets Model-Driven Engineering
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!
Yesterday, together with Matteo Sassi from WebRatio, I gave a seminar at SMAU 2013 on applying model-driven engineering solutions to Mobile, Cloud, and BPM technologies for fostering the business.The main message is that MDD and MDE can dramatically increase efficiency, flexibility and effectiveness of the enterprise by letting it address better the needs of the … Continue reading Mobile, Cloud, BPM through MDD for fostering the business. Presentation at SMAU 2013
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)
Our paper "Large-scale Model-Driven Engineering of Web User Interaction: The WebML and WebRatio experience" has been published online on Elsevier's journal: Science of Computer Programming, in the special issue Success Stories in Model Driven Engineering (edited by Davide Di Ruscio, Richard Paige, Alfonso Pierantonio).The history we report spans across a decade that has seen a … Continue reading Success story paper: Large-scale Model-Driven Engineering of Web User Interaction with WebML and WebRatio
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
