Eclipse EMF Search is a project aiming to provide an Eclipse Search integration for EMF Models to developers & end users.

Meta Tooling is a paradigm meaning EMF Search frameworks & features are heavily relying on Ecore meta model and provide code generation facilities to produce specific extensions of these frameworks for arbitrary user defined Ecore models.

In this example we will demo the code generation allowing to produce a textual Search/Replace infrastructure for a given user model.

Primary focus will consist in configuring the code generator by selecting a subset of textual feature and then using code produced on sample data in a runtime workbench.

Demo will contain use cases for :

• Code generator setting
• Search textual queries
• Textual replace

Integration of Business and Operation Support Systems (BSS/OSS) in the Telecommunications industry represents a large burden on Telecommunication Service Providers as they are trying to roll out new services to their customers. Just like any other IT department, disparate back office systems ranging from Service provisioning, to service assurance and billing, need to all share information in a coherent fashion.

Tigerstripe offers a solution to this problem by providing an integrated framework for the specific needs of the Telecommunications industry. In this presentation, you will learn about:

• The domain specific language used in Tigerstripe to model services, resources and customer related data
• How you can leverage the Tigerstripe framework in a continuous build environment to create model-driven OSS and BSS platforms
• The growing community of adopters of Tigerstripe through the TMForum (www.tmforum.org)

This webinar will include a demo and two concrete use cases:

• Cisco’s internal use of Tigerstripe in the production of their Active Network Abstraction platform
• How Tigerstripe is used in the TeleManagement Forum to define next generation telecommunication standards and interfaces (presented by HP)

Tigerstripe was recently contributed by Cisco Systems, Inc. as an Eclipse Technology sub-project.

With the increasing popularity of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), the need for quality tooling in the form of “language workbenches” and graphical editors will be critical to their success. The Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP) includes the necessary components for abstract and graphical syntax development, model transformation and code generation; that is, all you need for a DSL Toolkit in Eclipse. This presentation will illustrate the capabilities of the Eclipse Modeling Project to develop a DSL and associated generators for use in a model-driven software development (MDSD) scenario. Specifically, the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), Model-to-Model Transformation (M2M:QVT OML) and Model-to-Text (M2T:Xpand) Transformation projects will be demonstrated in the context of a real-world DSL toolkit.

Ian will describe the strength of the Eclipse market and the integration concept - and why the Eclipse concept is so succesful.

Volker will describe how Innovations uses the Eclipse concept for integrating Business Rules Management (BRM).

Business Rules Management allows organizations to manage their business decisions in a way that domain experts are able to control. Close collaboration of business and IT in defining, testing and managing the business rules delivers an increase in efficiency and decrease in terms of time-to-market.

The Visual Rules Eclipse plug-in allows the management of business rules with a unique graphical modeling approach. The Eclipse plug-in concept enables users and service companies to easily integrate Visual Rules into their development environment and into RCP-based solutions. Visual Rules is as well easy to use for business as it is powerful for IT.

Visual Rules 4.0 is launched on April 15, 2008. Version 4 provides new rule management concepts and major new features and functions - supporting advanced collaboration of business and IT. Participants of the webcast will get to see the news in a live demo of the product.

The team responsible for the Epsilon Eclipse GMT component has been investigating the appropriateness of using the Human-Usable Textual Notation (HUTN) as a means for providing a generic concrete syntax for instances of Ecore metamodels. A number of solutions (xText, TCS) exist for performing T2M transformation, but these solutions require the definition a specific concrete syntax for each metamodel.

They have constructed tooling that implements many of the core features of the HUTN specification, and provided integration with the Eclipse Modelling Framework through development tools for the Eclipse platform. In order to perform validation upon the input text and the transformation to the target model, the tooling extensively utilises model-management languages provided by Epsilon.

Going forward, the Epsilon team is concentrating on ensuring their implementation is well-aligned with the HUTN specification, and investigating the feasibility of using HUTN during the testing of model management activities. This flash screencast demonstrates some of the capabilities of their tooling.

Lucas implemented core APIs for meta search/replace of the EMF Search framework. Rather than just posting a long list of features, he prefered to expose some viewlets of the Eclipse modeling ecore/uml tooling. The purpose of this EMF Search tooling is to ease the Eclipse modeling user experience by offering ways to easily search, navigate and refactor Ecore based resources. He has created a short screencast of EMF Search features in vivo.
