4. Domain model : Describe your business Goulwen Le Fur: « The more domain model is well-designed, the more it will be easy to create tools, the more it will evolve easily in time »

9. ©Copyright2016Obeo Domain model: Follow Ecore Best Practises Follow the little pony checklist NsURI convention Reference and attribute names are consistent All the non-abstract EClasses are supposed to be instanciated A user can’t introduce cyclic references in between model fragments A user can’t introduce cyclic references in between model fragments http://cedric.brun.io/eclipse/ecore-design-checklist-part1/ http://cedric.brun.io/eclipse/ecore-design-checklist-part2

26. 26 ©Copyright2016Obeo Graphical Modelers: follow Obeo's best practices Optimized model queries Avoid eAllContents() Use semanticCandidate instead of precondition ... Prefer AQL langage Validate your VSM Use naming convention Reuse representation's definition with imports Take care of the views’ size Think about (un)synchronized nodes

28. 28 ©Copyright2016Obeo Integration: typical tasks Build Tycho / Maven / Jenkins Plugin architecture and reuse strategy Branding RCP / UI simplification Import / Export Document Generation with M2Doc Source Code Generation with Acceleo (or XTend) Xtext Bridge Collaboration solution

30. 30 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate: follow Obeo's best practises A POC generally address A subset of the target domain a reduced set of representations A POC is representation centric don't care about reliability of domain model Can be trashed Should be trashed→ Here the goal is to validate the general principle of the tooling, not start the development

31. 31 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate – POC: Design for your users with your users Tools are easy to configure Design your ecore model in session validate with domain experts→ Prototype your sirius representations in session Test with targetted users→ Add in the loop internal or external IT integrator Ideal team : 1 Sirius expert 1 targetted user1 domain expert

32. ©Copyright2016Obeo Ready-to-use packages Community Edition Team Edition A 100% Open Source package to discover Sirius thanks to a robust foundation A commercial package completing OD Community with repository-based collaborative features.

33. 33 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate – POC : project organization Typical goals for Sirius expert: To animate a working session To implement a domain model or review an existing one To quickly prototype Sirius representations from PPT / Visio specifications To demonstrate the ability to import / export data with external tools Average time for POC : 5/20 wd

34. 34 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate: follow Obeo's best practises A Pilot generally address A subset of the target domain, reliable enough for a real usage a reduced set of representations, usable by real end users A Pilot is domain model + UX centric the domain model should reliable and long term It should demonstrate a value on some use cases with good feedbacks The goal is to validate the ROI

35. 35 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate – Pilot: scope Outcomes Domain model Specification and Implementation of a subpart of the EMF domain model Representations Completion and Stabilization of the representations started during the POC or Creation from scratch to be based on good specifications Enough representation to be able to edit any elements Basic Tools such as : direct edit, reconnexion, creation, built-in tools usage Integration Import / Export, (doc+code) Generators Challenge Identify risks and try to solve them No test on large volumetry

36. 36 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate – Pilot: project organization Several ways of automonous Full outsourcing to Sirius experts Full internal dev with progressive ramp-up 4 days training 2 weeks at full time for initial setup and workshops 2,5 days of week during 1 month Sprint for specific features Support Mix 1 outsourced Sirius expert 2 internal developper↔ Full time project or sprints Average time for Pilot: 15/40 wd

37. ©Copyright2016Obeo Hot-fixes & Open Innovation Cost management of your specific integrations Dedicated Support Guaranteed response time for your support queries Secure Your Deployments Drive the Roadmap Iterate – Pilot: Editor's Support

38. 40 ©Copyright2016Obeo Iterate: follow Obeo's best practises Industrialization generally address Scalability Multiply representations at different abstractions or context Adding all tools for convenience Industrialization is reliability centric Unit Testing on every services RCP testing for UI Automatic build, code review

44. ©Copyright2016Obeo Model fragment: so what ? Assume that processes are well defined and followed for File fragmentation File sharing File locking at corse grain Assume Technical support for merge processes suited for Meta model that can be easily fragmented Low user number Technical users

47. ©Copyright2016Obeo Users' Feedback Several users working simultaneously on the same data • Automatic propagation of modifications across all user views • Authentication and data access rights • Suited for 10-15 users users working simultaneously on the same data No time lost managing conflicts and splitting models • Implicit locking during modifications • Explicitly created reservation locks Centralized administration • Administration console with automation feature • Branch, archive and backup management Standard data exploitation • Storage in a multi-platform relational database (H2) • Ready to deploy server configuration based on CDO • Import/Export with local projects

49. ©Copyright2016Obeo To Sum Up Focus on the domain model and Stabilize it ASAP Initialize and design your representations in workshops Start with a POC Industrialize with a collaborative editing strategy
