ABSTRACT
The recently introduced EP-model citeeptr proposes a declarative executable model for engineering object-based systems which achieves executability through a hybrid approach that annotates model elements with Java code snippets. Current modeling tools are not appropriate for this hybrid approach which requires graphical model editing, code generation and tight IDE integration to provide an effective modeling environment. DEMOS citedemostool is an Eclipse-based tool which supports editing and executing EP models with rule-based background code generation, and which provides immediate feedback on the syntactic validity of both model elements and user-supplied code snippets. The tool, which features an AOM-based architecture that renders it adaptable to different metamodels, enables EP-models to be used as first-class artifacts in the software engineering process.

DEMOCLES: a tool for executable modeling of platform-independent systems
OOPSLA '07: Companion to the 22nd ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming systems and applications companionThe main goal of model-driven architecture is the generation of the full implementation of a systembased on a precise description of a platform-independent model and a platform model. Such a description must accurately specify the static structure as ...
From platform-independent to platform-specific models using democles
OOPSLA '09: Proceedings of the 24th ACM SIGPLAN conference companion on Object oriented programming systems languages and applicationsDemocles is an executable modeling tool. It is based on a formally defined language named EP that allows both the structure and behavior of a system to be represented. Earlier versions of the tool allowed platform-independent models to be described ...
From objects-first to design-first with multimedia and intelligent tutoring
"Objects-first" is an increasingly popular strategy for teaching object-oriented programming by introducing the concepts of objects, classes, and instances before procedural elements of a programming language. Still, this approach emphasizes coding ...
