16. Obeo Designer
Easy way to define your own graphical designer

17. Obeo Designer

18. UML Designer

19. Obeo's references

20. Complex systems ?

21. Complex systems ?

22. Multi-activities & Multi-
domains

23. Managing complexity

24. Managing complexity
Master the increasing number of interactions
Share know-how
Enhance communication
Between teams
In extended enterprise
Avoid breaks in the process
Adopt a platform approach
Address different issues
While keeping a common referential

25. You are unique, your
workbench too!

26. Your domain, your language,
your representation
Each domain has its own specific vocabulary :
Textual
Graphical

27. Business Process

28. System engineering

29. Safety

30. Insurance

31. Enterprise architecture

32. Domain Specific Language
Improve the communication

33. DSL based tools
Are easy to take in hand
Guide the user in the right direction

34. A bit of history

35. Thales previous experiences
with UML profiling
Poor adoption
Metamodels constrained by UML concepts
Representations constrained by existing UML diagrams

36. Needs for DSLs
More freedom in representations
Heavier and more technical developments
Originally 2 or 3 foreseen modeling tools

37. Workbench/Business concerns
separation
Generic infrastructure for model management and representations
Focus on business added-value
Capitalization

38. What is Sirius ?
A tool to quickly define DSL based custom multi-view
workbenches with dedicated representations

39. Define the domain model
Business vocabulary :
Concepts
Relations
Properties

40. Describe the graphical
designer
Representations : Displayed elements, Shapes, Colors, Fonts
Palette : Buttons, Icons

41. Leverage the models
Model driven tools :
Generation
Validation
Comparison
Transformation

42. Sirius goes open source
Within the european project : Artemis and DGCIS
Financed by the french "Caisse des dépôts et consignations"
Crystal
Released in 2013 as an official Eclipse project

43. Sirius a major innovation
brought to Polarsys
by Thales and Obeo

44. Why using Sirius ?
For developers : reduce cost & complexity
No need to be an Eclipse modeling expert
Dynamic & iterative (live) development
For end-users :
Tooling adapted to needs and workflows
Improved experience

45. Creating a modeling
workbench with Sirius
Define custom multi-view worbenches (Diagrams, Trees, Tables)
With little technical knowledge
Quickly get a working modeler (instant feedback)
Highly customizable (native tooling, Java or extension points)

46. Using a modeling workbench
based on Sirius
Work with data models: not just a drawing tool
Environment adapted to user needs (Viewpoint-based)
Simplified workflow (Modeling Project)

47. Sirius in action

48. What the customer asks for

49. Sirius is flexible

50. UML Designer

51. SysML Designer

52. UML Designer in action
Based on Obeo Designer
Available at
http://marketplace.obeonetwork.com/module/uml/download

53. Embedded applications

54. OTime
Within the project : tools for RT embedded softwares and
time constrained systems.
RT-Simex

55. OTime
Timing constraints specification

56. OTime
Timing trace injection and timing requirements analysing/reporting

57. Sirius and the others

58. Integration with to
develop a editor
Xtext
Lustre

59. Integration with Topcased to
with a DSL
decorate
UML model

60. Who already uses Sirius ?
Thales
Embedded in Obeo Designer and Obeo SmartEA
Open source modelers on the Eclipse marketplace : UML, SysML,
TOGAF...
You
already available in
soon to be an official Eclipse project (Eclipse Luna)
Obeo Designer

61. What's next ?
The :Gemoc Initiative
On the Globalization of Modeling Languages
The ANR project (2012-2016)Gemoc
A Language Workbench for Heterogeneous
Modeling and Analysis of Complex Software-
Intensive Systems

62. Heterogeneous parts

63. Heterogeneous modeling
languages

64. Sirius in Gemoc
Today : Able to create many DSLs with dedicated tools in the same
workbench
Tomorrow : Unify these separated semantics to get a sense of the
heterogeneous systems
Drive system via debug (simulation or trace)
Animate the representations
Navigate through the whole system

65. The Gemoc Studio

66. 3 things to remember about
Sirius
1. A full-featured environment to create custom modelers
2. Mature, many deployments
3. Open source
