Common (meta) modeling languages do not allow the definition of specific association types. This restriction is sometimes a serious disadvantage for the design of DSML Daniel Töpel presented the paper “Association Types: Motivation, Specification and Implementation with the XModelerML” at the MULTI workshop in Linz. It describes an extension of FMMLx, a multi-level language developed […]

At the MODELS 2024 Educators’ Symposium, Pierre Maier presented the UML modeling tool UML-MX developed at the chair, particularly with regard to its use in teaching. The presentation, which is based on the paper “UML++: Enhancing Student Learning of Object-Oriented Modeling through Executable Objects”, co-authored with Tobias Schwarz, met with an extremely positive response. MODELS […]

Members of our team give three presentations at MODELS 2024. In the Educators’ Symposium, Pierre Maier and Tobias Schwarz describe the particular suitability of the UML-MX modeling tool developed at the chair for teaching. Ulrich Frank and Daniel Töpel present an extension of the FMMLx and the XModelerML in the MULTI workshop. It allows the […]

at BI week 2024 in Vienna, Ulrich Frank and Pierre Maier presented the UML-MX© Editor developed by the chair. They presented the innovative architecture and demonstrated that UML-MX© has considerable advantages over conventional UML modeling tools – both for teaching and for professional software development.

At the 19th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems FedCSIS 2024, which took place this year in Belgrade, Ulrich Frank gave an invited lecture on the topic of “Multi-Level Language Architectures as a Foundation for Advanced Enterprise Systems”. He showed how a multi-level language architecture enables the implementation of self-referential enterprise software that not […]

UML-MX is a new modeling tool developed by our Team. It is the first UML modeling editor that allows for instantiating and executing object models. “MX” stands for “Modeling and Execution”. UML-MX features a monotonic extension of UML, called UML++, that supplements UML with a few beneficial features such as delegation, executable operations, and constraints […]

The use of DSMLs is often limited by a lacking possibility to define domain-specific association types. This is an obstacle to reusing domain-specific knowledge and also a threat to model Integrity, since modelers are not prevented from creating inappropriate associations. Recently, the XModelerML has been extended by a feature that allows for the convenient definition […]

Tony Clark and Ulrich Frank gave a talk at this year’s PoEM, which took place from Nov. 28th to Dec . 1st in Vienna. Based on a description of the reflexive, multi-level language architecture, Ulrich Frank demonstrated the latest version of XModelerML and showed, among other things, how the creation and use of UML class diagrams […]
