MINT - Test Bench for Integration Proceedings

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:00:00 +0200

Within the MINT research project a range of very different methods for the integration of business software is examined according to objective criteria, thereby compared with each other. Read more about MINT, our contribution to the project, and about the advantages and disadvantages of the different integration methods:

HyperSenses - Code Generation Increases Efficiency of Your Development

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:00:00 +0100

You can substantially increase the efficiency and security of your software development. How?

Delta Software Technology presents new products and approaches for a generative software development that have been successful in large projects.

GP-Letter 28

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 08:00:00 +0100

Our GP-Letter regularly informs you of current issues, events, solutions and product developments regarding the spotlighted theme of generative programming and, in particular, of our latest tools "Pattern By Example", "ANGIE Generation Now!" and "HyperSenses".

UPDATE: OOP 2007: 22. 26. January, Munich, Germany

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 08:00:00 +0100

This year the OOP 2007 as one of the biggest software events in Europe provided a large audience with extensive information about the entire spectrum of modern software engineering.

In the session "Process Family Engineering Produktlinien für Prozesse" Cord Giese showed how you can economize your software development to a greater extend by applying product line concepts to the modeling and implementation of your business processes.

Just download the lecture slides, and learn more about the interplay of processes and product lines, and about the role code generators are playing thereby!

UPDATE - Premiere: Model-Driven Development and Product Lines

Tue, 7 Nov 2006 12:00:00 +0200

For the first time the conference "Model-Driven Development and Product Lines: Synergies and Experience" took place on 19-20 October 2006 in Leipzig, Germany. Renowned speakers presented the current status of concepts for model-based tools and product lines. Besides lectures and presentations, panel discussions provided an opportunity to discuss the real-world usability of the presented concepts.

Rüdiger Schilling, Delta's CTO, highlighted the usage of software generators as a central theme: When does the usage of generators become profitable and when not? His lecture focused on model-based project-specific generators, and included references to current project results and related experiences.

The list of speakers is a true "Who is who" of the MDD scene. More Information you will find on:

UPDATE - Our Event Tip: OOPSLA 2006

Tue, 7 Nov 2006 12:00:00 +0200

Delta and its research partners have developed a process-based product line architecture for the application area "automotive" that automates the development of process-based applications. Cord Giese, Research Analyst at Delta, presented a detailed case study on this topic at this year's OOPSLA.

The OOPSLA conference is definitely one of the highlights of the year for all people interested in object-oriented software development and related techniques. This year the GPCE conference was co-located with OOPSLA, meaning that technical and practical considerations of generative programming came to the fore.

Discussion Topic: Lightweight Domain Specific Modeling

Tue, 30 May 2006 08:00:00 +0200

Using domain-specific code generators is the main topic of the online article "Improving Developer Productivity with Lightweight Domain Specific Modeling", published at TheServerSide.com. How do code generators influence the developer productivity? Patrik Nordwall (Java architect at a Swedish consulting company) is the author of this article. He compares several partially competing software development techniques with each other and defines their scope.

The techniques presented complement one another to form a true methodology, whereby using domain-specific models plays a major role especially as a foundation for code generation.

The article contains a lot of references to further valuable sources related to code generation. Join this interesting discussion and read our comments on this article at...

Processes as Input: Generating Web Portals

Tue, 30 May 2006 08:00:00 +0200

Students from the Hasso Plattner Institute, located in Potsdam (Germany), have developed a software generator for Internet portals that generates the executable implementation directly from process models. The new generator, named "Magrathea", was presented to the public at the "Bachelorpodium 2006" on 12th April. The generator is the main result of the current research project PESOA (Process Family Engineering in Service-Oriented Applications).

The approach implemented is quite remarkable: similar business processes are handled as a family of processes, and one code generator is dedicated to process any of them. The HyperSenses tools developed by Delta Software Technology provide the core technology for this code generation task.
