While opening the 5th edition of SiriusCon, their online conference about Eclipse Sirius and graphical modeling, Obeo announced that they will open-source their new cloud-based solution. Strategic member of the Eclipse Foundation, Obeo has been working for years on modeling tools, with a strong commitment to Open Source, contributing to free software availability and to knowledge sharing. In 2014 with Thales co-involved in the project, they pushed the code of what is Obeo Designer, a core tool of their modeling technology. The open-source Eclipse Sirius project was born and has since become a solid and widely deployed solution to create graphical modeling workbenches. For a few months now, the Obeo team has been working hard to offer the goodness and capabilities of Sirius right into a browser through Obeo Cloud Platform, a cloud-based solution developed for deploying modeling tools to the web. Following their values and involvement in the open source community, Obeo chose to open ...

TNO, Obeo and Altran manage the complexity of high-tech systems Bridging the innovation gap  Bringing advanced development methodologies for software engineering to the market During the ESI symposium on 9 April, TNO, Obeo and Altran signed a memorandum of understanding to work together on solutions for this complexity. The theme of the ESI symposium is "Intelligence, the next challenge in system engineering"? More than 500 system engineers from the broad high-tech industry and academic network of ESI attended the symposium.  The high-tech industry supplies products of ever-increasing complexity. This complexity is such that insight, perspective and, at the same time, keeping a grip on the details have become a great challenge and not a foregone conclusion. No matter how good system engineers are, the human brain can no longer simply grasp this complexity. ESI, part of TNO, has been working for years in open innovation with partners from the high-tech industry and academ...

Capella, the MBSE solution, is well represented in the latest Eclipse Newsletter of December, with no less than six attractive articles that describe the industrial needs addressed by this solution, its methodology and features, and its ecosystem (add-ons, related technologies, working group, etc.).   The first article introduces the others, presenting the main benefits of a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach to take the challenges of complex systems engineering, with a focus on Capella which implements a field-proven MBSE method. The second focus on the Arcadia method, on which Capella is based. Arcadia covers the methodology and the high-level conceptual ontology and viewpoints. Capella has been purposely-built to provide the notation and diagrams needed to create models that exactly fit with Arcadia’s approach. Then, next article is about Capella Studio, which is based on Kitalpha, an integrated development environment for the development of model-based workb...

You are going to create a domain-specific modeling tool and you wonder how users will edit and visualize the models: textually with a dedicated syntax and a rich textual editor? or graphically with diagrams drawn with a palette and smart tools? Both approaches are interesting and can be used complementary: While text is able to carry more detailed information, a diagram highlights the relationship between elements much better. In the end, a good tool should combine both, and use each notation where it suits best. Written by TypeFox & Obeo, this white paper explains the benefits of each approach. Then, it presents Eclipse Xtext and Eclipse Sirius, two open-source frameworks for the development of textual and graphical model editors. And finally, find out two detailed use-cases where these two technologies can be integrated in the same modeling workbench. Download the white paper.   This subject was presented at EclipseCon Europe & SiriusCon this ye...

The first line of code of the technology actually known as Sirius was written 10 years ago. The legend says that the first version was developed in a train, back from a meeting between Thales and Obeo that will result in a long-term partnership on graphical modeling. One day later, a first metamodel, then named ViewPoint, was born:   In 2010, while a first version was already deployed on Thales projects, Sirius technology was publicly released for the first time under the name of Obeo Designer.   Several years later, in 2013, the decision was made with Thales to contribute this technology as an Open Source project in Eclipse. Our main objective was to foster the adoption of this great component and make it the de-facto standard for graphical modeling in Eclipse. Since then, Sirius is part of the annual release train of the Eclipse platform and has gathered a vibrant community.   What’s up today?   Eclipse Sirius is a field-pr...
