Once again, for the third consecutive edition, SiriusCon went too fast! We looked forward to attending this international conference on graphical modeling for a long time, and now we can't wait to organize the next one.   This 2017 edition gathered a lot of people, who came from 11 different countries (some of them even came from NORTH AMERICA!), and it was a pleasure to have all of them among the Sirius community. At SiriusCon 2017, every attendees, from beginner to advanced users, enjoyed several presentations with a specific focus on Eclipse Sirius itself, others about companion technologies and feedback from users who used these technologies to build their custom tools! We would like to thank all the speakers for their great contribution to the Sirius community. We were pleased to welcome Mike Milinkovich, the executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, who introduced the conference with a Keynote. He has an unique perspective regarding what happened in the Software Ind...

You work with a modeling workbench in your projects and you don’t know how to communicate your work? You have to fulfil many processes in your company that require the production of many documents?   Discover M2Doc, the open source solution to automate the production of Word files from your models. M2Doc gets now its own dedicated website, feel free to visit it.   Visual templates | Dynamic Content Incremental Generations | Rules Validation   Have a quick overview of M2Doc features with this short video:   If you are interested, contact us to see a demonstration about M2Doc adapted to your specific context!   M2Doc 1.0 was unveiled for the very first time the 26th of October at EclipseCon Europe 2017. If you missed it, you will have a second chance to see it at SiriusCon 2017, the free international conference on graphical modeling, on November 9th in Paris. Register for free!...

EclipseCon Europe 2017 is already over... It's again a successful edition that has just finished! As the latest editions, the Eclipse Foundation gathered more than 600 attendees from several open source communities, and we were part of the modeling one. At Ludwisburg, we had a busy schedule with 5 talks and a booth at the innovation market. And we came back really happy since we received several positive feedback about Eclipse Sirius & Eclipse Xtext, two model editors. A white paper has been just published about this attractive topic. Do not hesitate to read it. We also presented for the very first time M2Doc 1.0, the open source solution to generate documents from models. Get a better overview of M2Doc with this short video. And we were already there to the Modeling Guided Tour Day at the Unconference, a conference fully dedicated to the major components and projects of Eclipse Modeling project and the communities behind them. Now, next step for the modeli...

Facing increasing software complexity of Spacecraft On-board Software, European Space Agency (ESA) initiated the OSRA methodology (On-board Software Reference Architecture) to model the hardware and the software components, and to define the allocation of these components on the hardware.   ESA needed a solution to rapidly support this approach while Ecore, a tool based on Eclipse Sirius, emerged as the most appropriated one. Obeo came in to improve the modeler from an initial prototype to a fully functional and user friendly modeling solution.   Thanks to the improvement of its overall usability, the modeling solution supporting OSRA is now considered to be ready for distribution to European space industry!   Read more about this attractive topic with the dedicated case-study.     This case-study was presented at SiriusCon 2016. Find out the program of SiriusCon 2017, the free international conference on graphical modeling where unpublished case...

On September 22th, Maxime Porhel (Obeo) was pleased to attend EclipseDay Milano in Italy!   This conference is a signifiant event of the Eclipse community in Italy. It allows to learn, explore, share and collaborate on the latest ideas and informations about Eclipse and its Ecosystem.   It gathers great speakers, ready to present the latest innovations gravitating the Eclipse Working Groups and the technologies like RCP, IoT, Cloud, EMF, Modeling, and much more…   Maxime was part of these great speakers to present his talk: “All about UX in Sirius” on the Eclipse Sirius 5.0 new features. For example, it can improve the modeling tools with customized dialog boxes allowing a smoother user experience.     If you missed this attractive talk, you will have another chance to see it at EclipseCon Europe in Ludwigsburg (Germany), from October 23th to 25th.   Pascal Roques (PRFC) was also in Milano to present Capella, the Open Source solution for Model...
