An Evaluation of Multi-Level Modeling Frameworks for Extensible Graphical Editing Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
We need to have comprehensive knowledge about when, where and how we should use multi-level modeling methodologies and frameworks. There are previous work that introduce patterns and confirm the applicability of the methodologies. However, it is still difficult to select frameworks for various kinds of applications. In this paper, we focus on graphical editing tools as an application of multi-level modeling frameworks, and evaluates the capability for modeling and extensibility of multi-level modeling frameworks. We introduce a dataflow model as an example model of graphical editing tools. The evaluation result shows that Melanee can describe the dataflow model more accurately and can extend metamodels and metametamodels with less changes to existing elements.

Comparative analysis of DSM Graphical Editor frameworks: Graphiti vs. Sirius
Developing languages and tools which depend on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) methodology, represent a hot topic nowadays, but building a set of graphical tool is often very complex process which takes a lot of time and it often highly depends on developer’s knowledge and reliable frameworks. Today, a leading role of Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools on market has an open source – ...
متن کاملAn Open-Source Graphical Composite Modeling Editor and Simulation Tool Based on FMI and TLM Co-Simulation
A common situation in industry is that a system model (here a composite model) is composed of several submodels which may have been developed using different tools. FMI is one important technology for exporting/importing models between tools and/or connecting them via co-simulation. TLM based modeling and co-simulation is another important technique for modeling, connecting, and simulation of e...
متن کاملAn Object - Oriented Architecture forConstraint - Based Graphical
Direct-manipulation graphics editors are useful tools for a wide variety of domains such as technical drawing, computer-aided design, application building, and music composition. Constraints can be a powerful mechanism for specifying complex semantics declaratively in these domains. To date, few domain-speciic graphics editors have provided constraint-based speciication and manipulation facilit...
متن کاملAutomatic Layout and Structure-Based Editing of UML Diagrams
Graphical modeling languages, as defined in the UML, are appealing in their relative ease of comprehension. A well-structured model can provide a compact representation of complex designs. However, the development of graphical models is still hampered by modeling tools that force the user to perform low-level graphical editing steps, instead of focusing on the underlying model. We here propose ...

Oryx: Modeling Service Choreographies. Oryx is a graphical editing framework written in JavaScript developed at the Hassso-Plattner-Institute. A BPMN editor and a BPMN to BPEL4Chor transformation has been developed so that a BPEL4Chor choreography can be modeled using configured BPMN [2]. That enables business users to graphically model choreographies without the need of writing XML code themse...
