2 Part I Agenda What is Model Driven Engineering Part II MDE, Eclipse in Action, Live Demo Questions and Answers 2

3 Warning The live demo in this tutorial is real and contains pictures of coding done without model driven development. Some of the scenes you will see may not be appropriate for children under the age of 13 3

4 Model Driven Development Summary Abstraction Model Driven Development Generator Refinement 4

5 Complexity and Change 5

6 Abstraction Gap 6

7 Software Engineering/Computer Science Raising the level of Abstraction Introducing layers of indirection to solve problems 1 1 Dennis DeBruler, Refactoring, Fowler et. al. Addison Wesley

8 Language and Platform Complexity Change TEAM Components s Middleware Libraries APIs OS HW 8

9 Language and Platform where we are now Change Complexity TEAM Components s Middleware Libraries APIs OS HW Classic Product Line Assets 9

10 Rote vs. Creative Code 10

11 Domain Specific vs. Domain Independent Code 11

12 Duplicate vs. Unique Code 12

13 What s underneath the problems Language technology has not kept pace with platform technology 1 Insufficient linguistic power to tackle platform and domain complexity Lack of tools to deal with increased complexity 1 Douglas C. Schmidt IEEE Computer Magazine February

14 Solution Leverage recent critical innovations to provide a quantum leap of language technology and tools to overcome the complexity gap Eclipse provides the necessary tools to make this happen 14

15 Models - participants 15

16 Abstract(ion) Thought of as apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances Expressing a quality or characteristic apart from any specific object or instance 1 Derivation: abs away or away from, tract to pull or draw 1 relate to domain/product Doing more with less [Unknown] 1 Random House Unabridged Dictionary 2 nd Edition, Random House

17 Abstraction - Language 17

18 Groups of Abstractions Groups of abstractions are used to tackle complex problems Abstractions have particular relationships and can be combined in meaningful ways 1 New names, new relationships Creation of a vocabulary and grammar = language 1 1 Software Factories, Greenfield et. al. Wiley

19 Abstraction Packaging Patterns Pattern Language Tools MDD Artifacts ABSTRACTION Libraries Languages s Components Traditional Software Product Line Assets 19

20 Abstraction Productivity/Power Refinement Control 20

21 Model Driven Development Program with Models Create Models that can be processed by a machined to produce lower level abstraction artifacts Language - Editor - Generator 21

22 Model Driven Development The Anatomy and Pattern 22

24 Purpose Language define the abstract syntax, or grammar, upon which the editor, serialization concrete syntax, and inmemory concrete syntax are based. Editor The purpose of the editor is to render, capture and express design intent Generator Provides automatic ways to get to lower levels of more executable forms of code. Provides the actual meaning or semantics to the higher levels of abstractions. 24

29 Language Vocabulary + Grammar = Language 29

30 Metamodel Object oriented representation of the grammar of a language 30

32 Non Software Example Domain Independent 32

33 Non Software Example Domain Specific 33

34 Non Software Example Domain Specific 34

35 Domain Specific Language Model concepts found in a specific domain Contrast to General Purpose Language encodes generic abstractions 35

36 Editor Textual Syntax and highlighting, intellisense Graphical Domain Specific Graphics Meant for the human Nominated to a first class MDD participant Constraints at modeling time See the design Program in terms of domain elements and relationships Declarative 36

37 Generator Where the rubber meets the road in MDD Correct by construction Best Practice and Design Pattern replication Programming Power Maintainability two sides of the same coin when bug occurs Portability of design Opens the world up to new programmers 37

38 Abstract architectures and classes that provide a partial solution to a family of problems. 38
