DESCRIPTION
This talk gives an overview of the main Sirius features and shows how it can be used to create custom tooling for your own business or engineering domain. It takes the form of a customer-consultant role-playing game with a live demo of Sirius illustrating: How to use Sirius to create custom graphical modelers (diagram, table and tree editors) based on a given domain model (Ecore) The numerous customization mechanisms provided by Sirius to implement specific needs (conditional styles, filters, layers) The resulting Sirius modeling environment, ready to be delivered to end-users

What is Sirius?
Sirius in a nutshell
● A system to quickly define custom multi-view worbenches– Based on graphical editors/modelers
● Based on Eclipse Modeling Technologies– No need to be an expert for most uses
● New Eclipse Project– But already proven technology
What benefits?
● For developers: reduce cost & complexity– No need to be a GMF expert– Dynamic & iterative (live) development
● For end-users– Tools adapted to their needs and workflows– Improved experience (compared to raw GMF)
Two partsfor two kinds of users
Specification Environment
(Specifier/Developer)
Runtime Environment
(End-user)
The Specification Environment
● Define custom multi-view workbenches– Diagrams, Trees, Tables
● With little technical knowledge
● Get a working modeler fast– instant feedback
● Highly customizable– native tooling– Java or extension points
The Runtime
● Executes the specification● No code generation
● Environment adapted to user needs● Viewpoint-based
● Simplified workflow● Modeling Project

Thales System Engineering Workbench
Sirius in Thales (1/2)● A Sirius-based modeling
ecosystem
– From ad-hoc DSLs to fully industrial products
● Scalable
– 400+ EClasses,
– 30+ kinds of diagrams
– 1,5+M EOjects (and counting)
● Widely deployed
– Dozens of Sirius-specifiers
– Hundreds of daily-users of Sirius runtime
Sirius in Thales (2/2)
Capella enrichment with domain-specific viewpoints● Extensions of the core product
– New representations, layers, style customizations
● Simplistic
– Annotation-based coloring of elements
● Advanced
– Performance, Safety, IVVQ, Product Line, Computation, Etc.
Other Sirius references
● Embedded in the Obeo Designer and Obeo SmartEA (proprietary) products for 4 years– many use cases & customers
● At Eclipse.org : EcoreTools 2.0 (Luna)● Open Source modelers on Github and the
MarketPlace– Many fields (UML, Risk Analysis, SysML, TOGAF, Entity...)– 2800+ installs in February 2014
● And now... you!– Public release v0.9 made available in November 2013– Version v1.0 planned for Eclipse 4.4 (Luna)
Themes for 2014
● Streamline and separate API levels (Core, RCP, IDE / Diagram,Table...)
● Feedback and error messages for Specifier
● Improve the onboarding experience
● Performance and scalability: aiming at lazyness
● Diagram features: user experience, compartments
● Support and maintenance
Roadmap
Conclusion
Three things to remember about Sirius
1. A full-featured environment to create custom modelers
● Easy to use● Fast, iterative (live) development
2. Mature, many deployements
● Inside Thales and elsewhere via Obeo Designer
3. Official Eclipse project
● around 8 full-time commiters● Very active support on the Forum● v0.9 released, v1.0 will be in Luna
