Technology Incubation Project

Focus on Model Driven Engineering

Existing User Community from Telecom Industry

Stabilizing after 1 st year as Eclipse project

Initial contribution by Cisco in Dec’07

Used in production

Telecom Standards for OSS/BSS Interfaces

Model-Driven Network Mgmt Platforms (E.g. Cisco ANA)

User Environment Big, detailed models for everything Devices, Network Equipment, Technologies, Protocols Service Performance, Policies, etc… Software packages, Systems, Configurations Models shared across Eco-System Standard Bodies Vendors Partners Integrators

Big, detailed models for everything

Devices, Network Equipment, Technologies, Protocols

Service Performance, Policies, etc…

Software packages, Systems, Configurations

Models shared across Eco-System

So! MDE Tooling needs to... Enable distributed modeling Distributed Teams & Organizations Enforce Conventions Fine grain control on model content/sharing Allow componentized models Strong versioning across lifecycle Manage dependencies, builds, deployments

Enable distributed modeling

Distributed Teams & Organizations

Enforce Conventions

Fine grain control on model content/sharing

Allow componentized models

Strong versioning across lifecycle

Manage dependencies, builds, deployments

For modelers: Workbench UML-based Metamodel Class Diagrams, Instance Diagrams Model Scoping, validation Integrated Code/Content Generation For Developers: base Framework… APIs, Ext. Points to customize env. Headless, Buckminster, Maven, Ant … Annotation Framework EMF-based Model/Resource Annotation Tigerstripe Framework

For modelers: Workbench

UML-based Metamodel

Class Diagrams, Instance Diagrams

Model Scoping, validation

Integrated Code/Content Generation

For Developers: base Framework…

APIs, Ext. Points to customize env.

Headless, Buckminster, Maven, Ant

… Annotation Framework

EMF-based Model/Resource Annotation

Introducing…The Workbench references

Model Scoping Out of Scope

Template-based Code/Content Generation

Instance-based vs. Class-based Generation

Beyond the Workbench Use APIs to Import/Export models Customize model auditing, naming conventions, decorations Enhance modeling palette with templates Continuous Model build Environment Headless generation, Maven, Ant driven Buckminster Integration Materialize components, build them.

Use APIs to

Import/Export models

Customize model auditing, naming conventions, decorations

Enhance modeling palette with templates

Continuous Model build Environment

Headless generation, Maven, Ant driven

Buckminster Integration

Materialize components, build them.

Flexible Model Annotations Stereotypes vs. Annotations Stereotypes: part of the model Intrinsic model information Annotations: decorations, separate from the model Additional info related to specific use of the model Namespace based

Stereotypes vs. Annotations

Stereotypes: part of the model

Intrinsic model information

Annotations: decorations, separate from the model

Additional info related to specific use of the model

Namespace based

Annotations: A Closer Look Principles Associate Arbitrary EMF object with URI Independent of Tigerstripe Core Allow for custom UI, both as property view or on GMF diagrams Control where they are persisted package org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.core; import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI; import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject; public interface Annotation extends EObject { … URI getUri(); void setUri(URI value); … EObject getContent(); void setContent(EObject value); … String getId(); void setId(String value); } // Annotation

Principles

Associate Arbitrary EMF object with URI

Independent of Tigerstripe Core

Allow for custom UI, both as property view or on GMF diagrams

Control where they are persisted

Install Annotations… … and annotate the model. Selection-based view Native EditPart on GMF Diagrams Annotation “routed” to .ann file
