CEO of Obeo

I started as a software engineer with a hint of academia through a master degree. I got involved in open-source projects quite early through contributions to KDE or the Linux Kernel, I then joined the Eclipse community and I am leading couples of projects there (EcoreTools, Amalgamation) and I am a member of the Architecture Council. The itch I keep scratching is 'How can we make better and open tools, faster?' and that led me to domain specific modeling practices and technologies. I like to share my findings through conferences and happened to co-author a number of articles and research papers.

Do you know Ecore? Looking for a reference card?

“ Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler ” probably was one of the mantra the Eclipse Modeling Framework team (Ed Merks, Marcelo Paternostro, Dave Steinberg among others…) sticked to when they created the core concepts which would allow the definition of all the others tools. Ecore is a kernel, you define your domain-specific model using these constructs. It boils down to...

Connaissez-vous Ecore ? Vous cherchez une carte de référence ?

“¸£’Ÿ¦¡ℎ–›”  ℎœ¢™‘ ’ šŽ‘’ Ž   –š™’ Ž  œ  –™’, ¢¡ ›œ¡  –š™’Ÿ” était probablement l’un des mantras auxquels l’équipe du Eclipse Modeling Framework (Ed Merks, Marcelo Paternostro, Dave Steinberg, entre autres…) devait s’en tenir lorsqu’ils ont créé les concepts fondamentaux qui permettraient la définition de tous les autres outils. Ecore est un noyau, vous définissez votre modèle spécifique au ...

What if you could design, simulate and analyze all at once using Open-Source solutions?

At the Eclipse Foundation conference last October, we had the opportunity to demonstrate an integration of Eclipse Sirius Web and Project Jupyter Notebook for seamless design, simulation, and analysis. As a data enthusiast, I’ve always been impressed by the versatility of Jupyter. It serves as a hub for reproducible science and a gateway to a vast array of Python frameworks for data science, visua...

Are your engineering tools built on top of strong and well-maintained technologies?

When you pick technologies to build tools empowering hundreds of your engineers, you aim at making the best choice. Open-Source is the best when you play the long term. The Eclipse Foundation ensures that all the metrics related to an Open-Source project are exposed on its website, helping you to assess the effort which goes into maintaining and updating the technology. With 12 releases in 2022 , ...

Building Graphical Modeling Tools, Approaches to Reducing Complexity

Building graphical modeling tools can be a complex undertaking, especially if they need to support many features and functions. At Obeo, we have extensive experience in this area and strive to make the process as easy and accessible as possible. To accomplish this, we rely on several strategies, including modular design, higher-level abstractions, and the ability to iterate quickly on a tool defin...

Construire des Outils de Modélisation Graphique, Approches pour Réduire la Complexité

Alors que vous profitez peut-être de votre été et que vous naviguez par ici, laissez-moi vous montrer un petit prototype sur lequel j’ai travaillé par intermittence à travers plusieurs versions de Sirius Web. Il est maintenant basé sur la dernière version de Sirius Web. Bravo à l’équipe Sirius pour leurs sorties toutes les 8 semaines comme sur des roulettes ! L’idée a été inspirée par Guesstimate ...
