Merging Models with the Epsilon Merging Language - A Decade LaterDimitris Kolovos
Slides from my 10-year most influential paper award presentation at ACM/IEEE MoDELS 2016 at St Malo, France. Original paper: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F11880240_16
Connected devices and sensors automate the way clinical, objective data are collected and shared with Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals to help them take evidence-based decisions. On the other hand, self-reported, subjective data often remain a key source of information in order to have a better, more holistic understanding of a person's conditions.
In which cases is it preferable to combine objective and subjective data? How can we successfully combine the two in a person-centric approach to healthcare without overwhelming people with extra work?
EuGENia is a tool that automatically generates the .gmfgraph, .gmftool and .gmfmap models needed to implement a GMF editor from a single annotated Ecore metamodel. EuGENia provides high-level annotations that shield you from the complexity of GMF and lowers the entrance barrier for creating your first GMF editor. While EuGENia is very useful for getting started with GMF, it doesn't stop there and can be used all the way to the final polished version of your editor.
