Advances in Automotive System Modeling |
|
For decades developers of automotive embedded systems have enjoyed the
benefits of modeling. Models have not only served communication and gaining
better understanding but are also used to prototype, analyze, simulate and
test the developed systems. With dedicated generators it has also been
possible to produce production-quality software code from the models.
Typical cases of code generation are various control-engineering solutions
and infotainment systems with HMIs. |

Domain-Specific Modeling Languages for Embedded
System Development |
|
Metamodeling and generators are typically applied to produce code
and other software development related artifacts. Based on our experiences
metamodels and generators can also be applied successfully to produce other
non-software related artifacts, enable software and hardware co-design,
support early level design space exploration, and automate testing activities. This
paper describes our experiences, based on implementations done in MetaEdit+ tool, on applying metamodeling to create domain-specific modeling languages as well as the related generators for various kinds of embedded system development situations. |

How
to Integrate Models And Code |
|
While we all create models in one form or another, their combination with
code has been challenging. As a result, models are usually thrown away once
the implementation has progressed. The reason is partly in the modeling
languages used and partly in the modeling tools. We describe proven
practices for success in integrating models and code. |

Industrial
Experiences on Using Domain Specific Languages |

Domain-specific modeling languages and code generators have significantly
improved the productivity and quality of software development in many areas,
but seem a particularly good fit for embedded software development. In this
session, we describe industrial experiences in two different domains: touch
screen devices and medical sports computer. In particular we investigate the
influence to development productivity and product quality. |

Mature
model management |
|
With the boom in modeling, everybody is trying to manage models with
existing versioning tools and practices. And everybody is suffering:
modelers, VCS vendors and modeling tool vendors alike. In this article we
take a step back and look at what is actually needed for model management,
and how a novel approach, designed from scratch for models rather than text,
has fared in practice. We will examine what old problems of model, variant
and version management it solves, and how. On the counter side we look at
what new problems Domain-Specific Modeling Languages raise for model
management, and how to address them. These results are based on and will be
illustrated by examples from a variety of industries, including telecom,
medical and finance. From these and other experiences over the last fifteen
years, we will also see which ideas sound great in theory but don't work out
in practice - and why. |

| Title: |
Integrating
Models with Domain-Specific Modeling Languages |
|
Model integration is inescapable: any non-trivial system will be too large
to fit sensibly in a single model. The model will have to be split, maybe
into different aspects or languages, different modeler roles and tasks,
different phases of the software development life cycle, etc. In
Domain-Specific Modeling, the possibilities to integrate models are
fundamentally better than with general-purpose languages as the company has
full access to the language definitions. We describe and compare different
ways to integrate DSM models, based on real world experience of what has
been shown to work in practice on industrial scales. |

Experiences
with Automotive Service Modeling |
|
Existing component-based development in the automotive world is showing the
strain, as systems grow ever larger and start to interact with systems in
the world outside the vehicle. A service-oriented approach offers benefits
of modularity and runtime configurability, but raises challenges of a
suitable language and platform. We examine the applicability of BPEL to
automotive services. From our preliminary results we suggest the need for
Domain-Specific Modeling to better address the particular requirements of
the automotive service domain. |

Die Modellierung boomt und alle versuchen, Modelle mit bestehenden

ich einen Schritt zurück und gehe der Frage nach, was tatsächlich für das
Modellmanagement benötigt wird. Ich untersuche, wie es einem neuartigen
Ansatz, der mehr für Modelle als für Text entwickelt wurde, in der Praxis
ergangen ist. Dabei gehe ich darauf ein, welche alten Probleme bei der
Verwaltung von Modellen, Varianten und Versionen dieser Ansatz löst — und
vor allem wie. Außerdem zeige ich, welche neuen Probleme
domänenspezifische Modellierungssprachen für das Modellmanagement mit sich
bringen, und wie mit diesen verfahren wird. |

Worst
Practices for Domain-Specific Modeling |
|
Interest in creating domain-specific modeling (DSM) languages is surging,
but little guidance is available on how to do it right. Along with heeding
best practices, learning what not to do — including how to handle common
pitfalls and recognize troublesome areas — can help first-time developers.
The authors have identified several worst practices based on an analysis of
76 DSM cases spanning 15 years, four continents, several tools, around 100
language creators, and projects with from three to more than 300 modelers.
They present these worst practices in the order that language developers
would encounter them over the life of a project. |

same application from the same models, but for a wide variety of client
platforms. This paper examines one example of domain-specific modelling

Domain-Specific Modeling: Improving productivity and time to market |
|
Traditionally, software development has been a series of mappings from the domain idea, to design models, and on to source code. These mappings tend to be slow and lead to errors and duplication of effort in problem solving, design, and coding. Domain-specific modeling (DSM) addresses these problems by removing the resource-intensive and error-prone mappings, aiming to solve the problem only once at the same level of abstraction with the domain itself. |

Domänenspezifische
Modellierungssprachen für Produktfamilien |
|
Gängige Modellierungssprachen basieren auf den Konzepten
von Programmiersprachen. Die mit diesen Modellierungssprachen abgebildeten
Systeme erlauben nur bedingt die Darstellung von neuen Eigenschaften, die
typischerweise bei neuen Produktfamilien-mitgliedern vorkommen. Die Vo
rteile und Effizienz der Entwicklung von Produkt - familien geht damit
verloren. Einen vielversprechenden Ausweg aus dieser Situation bieten
domänenspezifische Modellierungssprachen, die auf die Entwicklung von P
roduktfamilien ausgerichtet sind. Eine solche Modellierungssprache bzw.
ein Meta - modell wird auf Basis der Eigenschaften einer Produktfamilie
definiert. Dieses familien - spezifische Metamodell stellt dann den Rahmen
für Produktvariationen dar, und bildet die Basis für eine automatisierte
Software p roduktion. Im industriellen Einsatz führte die - ser Ansatz
bereits zu einer zehnfachen Steigerung der Produktivität . |

Into the domain of speed |
|
An upward shift in abstraction leads to a corresponding increase in productivity. In the past, this has occurred when programming languages have evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific visual languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction beyond coding. |
