Papyrus is aiming at providing an integrated and user-consumable environment for editing any kind of EMF model and particularly supporting UML and related modeling languages such as SysML and MARTE. Papyrus provides diagram editors for EMF-based modeling languages amongst them UML 2 and SysML and the glue required for integrating these editors (GMF-based or not) with other MBD and MDSD tools.
Papyrus also offers a very advanced support of UML profiles that enables users to define editors for DSLs based on the UML 2 standard. The main feature of Papyrus regarding this latter point is a set of very powerful customization mechanisms which can be leveraged to create user-defined Papyrus perspectives and give it the same look and feel as a "pure" DSL editor.
As the name implies, AMDD is the agile version of Model Driven Development (MDD). MDD is an approach to software development where extensive models are created before source code is written. A primary example of MDD is the Object Management Group (OMG)’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) standard. With MDD a serial approach to development is often taken, MDD is quite popular with traditionalists, although as the RUP/EUP shows it is possible to take an iterative approach with MDD. The difference with AMDD is that instead of creating extensive models before writing source code you instead create agile models which are just barely good enough that drive your overall development efforts. AMDD is a critical strategy for scaling agile software development beyond the small, co-located team approach that we saw during the first stage of agile adoption.
The workshop aims at providing a forum for discussing the application of different aspects of ontologies to enhance Model Driven Engineering (MDE) or Model-driven software development (MDSD). More specifically, the objectives of the workshop are: To present success cases of integrated approaches; To present state-of-the-art researches covering ontologies in MDE; To encourage the modeling community to explore different aspects of ontologies like validation, verification and dynamic classification; To promote the demonstration of MDE tools using ontologies.
Have you ever evolved your metamodel in EMF and your models were no longer valid afterwards? Or have you avoided to evolve your metamodel in order not to invalidate your models? Or have you even deteriorated your metamodel so that it remains downwards compatible to previous versions in order to avoid these problems?
This site introduces COPE, a tool based on EMF that eases the migration of models in response to an evolving metamodel. COPE explicitly records the history of the metamodel as a sequence of changes and allows to attach information of how to migrate models (which is referred to as coupled evolution). The attached information can be used to automatically migrate models to the new version of the metamodel. COPE even goes one step further and allows to reuse combinations of metamodel adaptation and model migration steps across metamodels.
In order not to disturb EMF users in their habits, COPE seamlessly integrates into the Ecore editor. A demonstration of the tool in action can be looked at here. It is planned to contribute COPE to the Eclipse community.

Agile Modeling (AM) is a practice-based methodology for effective modeling and documentation of software-based systems. Simply put, Agile Modeling (AM) is a collection of values, principles, and practices for modeling software that can be applied on a software development project in an effective and light-weight manner. As you see in Figure 1 AM is meant to be tailored into other, full-fledged development methodologies such as XP or RUP, enabling you to develop a software process which truly meets your needs. The techniques of AM, in particular Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD), the lifecycle for which is depicted in Figure 2, enable you to scale agile software development to very complex situations.
