“ 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...

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...

2023 has been here for a month, and it’s time to hop into the year of the Water Rabbit according to the Chinese calendar. Preparing the Sirius Web project’s objectives, I was wondering: what’s in store for this year? And, just for curiosity, I searched for the Chinese zodiac fortune predictions for 2023: The year of the Water Rabbit is going to be a gentler year. We’ll have time to take a breather...

I was there with several other members of the Obeo team to share our work on Sirius Web . I had the chance to be part of the program, with Benoît Lelandais from the CEA DAM (Military Applications Division of the French Nucle...

Some very well known languages propose a graphical and a textual representation, this is notably the case of two modeling languages: UML and SysML v2. In order for Eclipse Sirius Web to adapt to the needs of any modeler, it is important that it can be used to express a model in this way. In 2017, we published with TypeFox a white paper about how a textual representation can be combined with a grap...

This company is ASML , the only one in the world to master the technology of printing miniature electronic circuits. Those that equip most of our modern equipment: telephones, cars, data centers, etc. ASML supplies all the major semiconductor suppliers in the world, starting with Samsung and Intel. Ea...
