Achieving scalability in MDE involves:

Constructing large models and associated DSLs.

Enabling collaborative development.

Querying and transforming large-scale models.

Efficiently storing, indexing and retrieving large models.

THE MONDO PROJECT: CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY 1: THE MODELLING TOOL

DOMAIN

8

The role of SOFTEAM◦ Apply MONDO technologies within

the SOFTEAM Open Source Modelio (www.modelio.org)

◦ MONDO technologies will be applied using different Modelio modules and standards benefiting multiple market sectors and users.

What SOFTEAM expects from MONDO◦ Enhance Modelio capabilities to

manage large-scale models: scalable model persistence and querying.

CASE STUDY 1: THE MODELLING TOOL DOMAIN

9

Evaluation◦ In-house modelling applications◦ Model: Voyages Discount

application (developed using TOGAF modelling) Voyages Discount application:

service provider proposing a list of unsold package tours from travel agencies.

Model provides a complicated business process that requires multiple stockholders / professionals communications

◦ MONDO technologies evaluated using this model in a collaborative environment composed by a large team.


10

Scenario 1: MONDO framework querying facility◦ Purpose: comparison of the query facilities and performances

provided by both Modelio and MONDO frameworks. ◦ Expected benefits: improve the Modelio querying facilities to

better meet end user’s needs in terms of performance (time and memory).


11

Scenario 2: MONDO framework collaborative modelling◦ Purpose: integrate the MONDO technologies for supporting

large and complex models and large collaborating teams.◦ Expected benefits: improve end users’ experience of

modelling gaining speed in the overall design in large team and large model context.


12

Scenario 3: MONDO support in M2T trans.◦ Purpose: specification and execution of M2T transformations.

Benchmarking and performance analysis: M2T transformations within Modelio.

◦ Expected benefits: improve the scalability and performance of Modelio M2T transformations in a large model context.


13

Scenario 4: MONDO support in M2M trans.◦ Purpose: compare the M2M transformation support by both

frameworks. Benchmarking and performance analysis: M2M transformations inside Modelio and EMF UML2 XMI import/export facilities.

◦ Expected benefits: improve the scalability and performances of Modelio M2M transformations in a large model contextby reducing the amount of needed time and resources .


CASE STUDY 2: THE OPEN-BIM

CONSTRUCTION DOMAIN

16

The role of UNINOVA◦ Research and development institute◦ Well-known activities on data and interoperability, at European and

National level◦ Special focus on the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and

Operations (AECO) domains.

What UNINOVA expects from MONDO◦ Enable an efficient management and exploitation of Open-BIM large-

to-huge-scale data models using best-of-breed MBE solutions incorporating AECO domain knowledge for the

best possibly experience and performance.

CASE STUDY 2: THE OPEN-BIM CONSTRUCTION DOMAIN

17

Scenario 1: File- (huge-) based collaboration◦ Purpose: enable model designers to

work on separate models and sharemodels (large files) having model coordination

◦ Expected benefits: enable off-line work on part of a large model, but having all parts promptly merged together within a single BIM model

18

Scenario 2: Shared- (huge-) model collaboration◦ Purpose: all users (model designers,

model coordinator, model clients) interact via a large shared-model in Model Server.

◦ Expected benefits: efficient querying/updating on large-sized BIM models enabling fruitful extreme BIM modelling collaboration.

Scenario 3: Quantity Take-Off in huge BIM models◦ Purpose: QTO are a detailed

measurement of the materials needed to complete a construction project used to format a bid. BIM provides a direct way to extract the quantities of a building by doing a complex query to the large BIM model.

◦ Expected benefits: Ability to traverse large BIM data model with outstanding performance (on-the-fly) to generate complex QTO reports making it possible to improve modelfor best quantities arrangement (thus best cost solution).


CASE STUDY 3: THE OFFSHORE

WINDPOWER DOMAIN

21

The role of IKERLAN◦ Modelling Control Systems of Wind Turbines: specify behaviour

of of the wind turbines’ control system .◦ Own modelling tools

Open-source Eclipse modelling technology Not conceived to be used in an agile and

collaborative manner.

What IKERLAN expects from MONDO◦ Provide collaboration in the modelling tool◦ Add new features: concurrent model edition,

partial load of models, advanced querying capabilities.◦ Support modelling activities in out-of-the-office

environments: modelling from mobile devices.◦ Future: use tools in other domains.

CASE STUDY 3: THE OFFSHORE WINDPOWER DOMAIN

22

Scenario 1: Wind turbine control system collaborative modelling◦ Purpose: provide agile development to the wind turbine

control system engineers to be able to specify models concurrently/together.

◦ Expected benefits: add teamworking capabilities to the modelling tool. a more flexible wind turbine control system

development. improve communication among engineers.


23

Scenario 2: Partial-load / Load-on-demand of subsystems’ related models◦ Purpose: allow engineers to be able to manage

partially specific parts of the model.◦ Expected benefits: agility and flexibility through

the partial model validation.


24

Scenario 3: Modelling from mobile devices◦ Purpose: use models in the common activities that

nowadays are not used on grounds of non-comfort. E.G. Field maintenance

◦ Expected benefits: allow different teams

(development, customization, installation and maintenance) to work over the same model.

Provide adapted modelling tools/views to each team(e.g. mobile modelling)


25

MONDO technologies: benefits to the software development on industry

MONDO technologies: extend MODELIO◦Large-scale models◦Collaborative and agile development◦To be used within three case studies

MONDO evaluation: for October 2015◦Qualitative and quantitative
