MDA - Model Driven Architecture

Turn Modelio into a quality and productivity tool dedicated to your environment

MDA accessible to all Modelio Enterprise Edition users

MDA is an OMG standard technology enabling model extensions to be implemented and used for model productivity purposes.

Modelio Enterprise Edition natively provides three levels of MDA support:

  • Basic: Define model extensions (stereotypes) "on the fly" while you are building your models
  • Advanced: Organize your extensions, add properties and features
  • Expert: Deploy your extensions, model them, develop model exploitation code in Java, extend and adapt the Modelio GUI (requires the Java Designer module)

Modelio Enterprise Edition provides a scripting language (Jython), interpreted, easy to program, which accesses the rich Modelio Java API. Any user can send requests on the model, ask for a transformation or implement small utilities as macros, on the fly. Jython code can be executed in "batch" mode, in order to realize repetitive and tedious tasks with absoutely no human intervention.

Modelio MDA Designer demonstration Watch the "Modelio's MDA capacities" demo

Watch this video to find out more about the MDA capacities of Modelio,
including PIM->PSM, PSM1->PSM2, PSM1->PSM2 iteration, incremental
PSM and PSM-> code model transformations, and much more.

 

Key features

  • Graphical modeling of your UML profiles using UML2 diagrams
  • Java API to adapt Modelio, define model transformations and generate code
  • Open and fully-documented metamodel, accessible in Java
  • Generic Java API for adapting existing Modelio modules (code generation, teamwork management, ...)
  • Extension packaging and deployment with "modules"
  • Wizards to create modules and prepare their Java code
  • Immediate deployment, test and debug of developed modules
  • Transformation session management: guarantees model consistency, rolls back in case of transformation interrupting consistency
  • Scripting language (Jython interpreted language) and macro definition support
  • "On the fly" stereotype definition
