An Evaluation of the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Based on the Development of the CORAS Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an evaluation of the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) based on our experiences in developing an editor for the risk modeling language CORAS using GMF. Our main hypothesis is that GMF shortens development time and results in more reliable and maintainable systems than alternative approaches which are not based on code generation. We conclude that the hypothesis is true, but that the answer is not as clear cut as we initially believed, and that there is still a large potential for improvement.

Model-Driven Development of Graphical Tools - Fujaba Meets GMF
In this paper we describe and evaluate our combination of the Fujaba CASE-Tool with the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) of the Eclipse IDE. We created an operational model with Fujaba and used it as input for a GMF editor generation process. This allows us to introduce a new approach for generating fully operational models including graphical editors for model representation and transformati...
متن کاملGenerating Domain-Specific Model Editors with Complex Editing Commands
In software system development, domain-specific visual notations are increasingly used and need a tool environment consisting of visual editors, simulators, model transformers, etc. Several Eclipse projects head for a meta technology to define domain-specific modeling languages. The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) [5] can be used to define the underlying models of visual editors. Given an EMF ...
متن کاملThe Role of Algorithmic Applications in the Development of Architectural Forms (Case Study:Nine High-Rise Buildings)
The process of developing architectural forms has greatly been changed by advances in digital technology, especially in design tools and applications. In recent years, the advent of graphical scripting languages in the design process has profoundly affected 3D modeling. Scripting languages help develop algorithms and geometrical grammar of shapes based on their constituent parameters. This stud...
متن کاملWhy and How We Should Use Graphiti to Implement PCM Editors
For the Palladio Component Model (PCM), performance engineers use graphical editors for specifying and composing components as well as usage scenarios and deployment environments. These editors are created with the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF). The fact that GMF editors are widely considered as difficult to maintain and to customize raises the question whether it makes sense to migrate to...
متن کاملUsing Eclipse in building model-driven e-Learning supports
In this paper we discuss the role of modelling and of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) and GMF (Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework) in the design and development of supports for eLearning applications. A model driven approach to eLearning applications is presented, rooted on the explicit representation of the model of the didactic content, based on a metamodel language expressed in Ecore. Bes...
