  1. Model-Oriented Programming: Bridging the Model-Code Divide Modeling in Software Engineering (MiSE2013) Omar Badreddin, Timothy C. Lethbridge University of Ottawa tcl@eecs.uottawa.ca http://www.eecs.uottawa.ca/~tcl http://www.umple.org

  2. Key Ideas ofModel-Oriented Programming (MOP) • It should be possible to • Use a ‘nice’ textual form for any modeling construct • Embed code in model • Embed model in code • Umple allows this transparently for • Java • C++ • PhP • And even all at the same time! MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  3. Why Model-Oriented Programming • Real programmers still like code • Outside the critical systems domain, most models are just documentation • And tend to be: • Wrong • Not executable anyway • Those of us who have done real model-driven development know doing so is a ‘no brainer’ for productivity + quality • We just have to bridge the model-code divide MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  4. Why not just use a ‘UML Action Language’ like Alf? • We don’t really need yet another language for such elements • People want to • Leverage their existing code and libraries • Do this in small increments MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  5. Umple as a MOP tool • It ‘eats its own dogfood’ • The Umple compiler is developed with itself • http://code.google.com/p/umple/source/browse/trunk/cruise.umple/src/Umple.ump • http://metamodel.umple.org • Umple allows embedding of code for • Methods • State machine actions, activities, guards • Arbitrary code before/after any generated API for manipulating associations, attributes etc. MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  6. Examples • Small example: http://helloworld.umple.org State machines: http://statemachines.umple.org MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  7. Evidence of benefit • Empirical studies show • Umple code is easier to understand than Java • Helps students learn to model: CSEE&T MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  8. Ability to generate code to represent the model Availability of a textual form for models and diagrams Ability to edit diagram or text & have the other reflect changes MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide

  9. Questions? MiSE 2013 - Umple - Model-Code Divide
