"The classical approach to collaborate on the same model is usually to split the model into several files managed with a source control system such as SVN. There are two major problems to this approach: lock granularity and real-time updates. The solution provided with Obeo Designer consists in a CDO-based repository which contains shared models and their representations (diagrams, tables and trees)." - Frédéric Madiot.

"Would you develop a satellite application the same way you develop a «classic» application? Of course not! This post describes the European Space Agency initiative to define a software reference architecture (SRA) for on-board software. SRA aims at providing a common framework which can be reused for multiple missions in the space domain. A graphical modeling tool based on Eclipse and Obeo Designer has been developped for the development of on-board software compliant with the SRA." - Frédéric Madiot.

"EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) is mostly used to create model-driven tools for software or system engineers. Here, in this case-study, an EMF-based tool is directly used by business domain experts to create models which are deployed and interpreted at runtime. MAIF is a french insurance company with 2.8 millions of insured members (ranked 5th in number of insured vehicules and habitations in France)." - Frédéric Madiot.

"One of the cool things coming with Obeo Designer 6.0 is the new "Ecore Modeling Project" creation wizard. It automatically creates an EMF project containing an Ecore model and its corresponding genmodel. This project is also created with the Modeling Project nature and a Obeo Designer representation file (.aird) containing a diagram (depending on the viewpoint selected with the wizard)." - Frédéric Madiot.

"From now, on this blog, my posts mainly described case-studies where model-driven engineering (MDE) has been used to produce code or modernize existing software systems. Another domain where MDE is widely used is System Engineering. In this domain, Thales has acquired a strong experience with the Arcadia approach." - Frédéric Madiot.
