Model repository in general.

!! Model repository stores Metadata where the context (domain) is defined in a formal model.

!! The concepts of the model repository are defined in a meta meta model


Versioning/ revisioning of content

and branching/ static view defintions

Change history and audit

Distributed modelling

Concurrent modifications

Access control

Bulk interface

Lightweight and agile development,

thus adaptions will not consume much effort

The Service Repository in a nutshell.

!! Provide all information needed by service participants for consistent service implementation

and utilisation (architecture)

!! Store definition of different SOA backplane environments and binding of service

participants to these environments (binding)

!! Support fully automated configuration of SOA backplane environments (dev, test, prod, …)

(service provisioning)

!! Support SOA governance (service discovery, reuse) and impact analysis (change / incident

contact information) (management)

!! Support change and configuration management by the revisioning concept and the

auditing facility of CEISeR


The Underlying Meta-Model.

eXploring Modells – CEISeRs frontend.


Xplor Eclipse based client.

!! Eclipse plug-in or Eclipse-based RCP

!! DSL editor for CEISeR

!! Generic GUI based on CEISeR meta model, Import DSL meta model and local configuration

!! Partially generated from the CEISeR met model

!! Supports

!! Editing of job definition files (manifest, architecture, binding, infrastructure;

search, edit, delete, insert, change, …)

!! Analysis of job results (model diff, constraint violations)

!! Analysis of model dumps (offline snapshot of partial or full model)

!! Analysis of a diff between two model revisions (diff of two snapshots)

!! Check-in and Check-out of model fragments

!! Various wizards for making the work with CEISeR more efficiently

Benefits of MDSD based Approach.

!! MDSD allows changes and enhancements of logical model and general enhancements of

functionality to be executed without the need to rewrite mayor parts of code or recurring implementation efforts

!! Model to model transformations allow efficient implementation of complex transformations

needed for

!! Import of definitions form various sources and formats

!! Export of definitions to various formats

!! Data migration due to model changes / enhancements and harmonisation activities

!! oAWs generator framework and powerful template language allow easy generation of all

kinds of artefacts

!! Application architecture supports clear separation of generated and hand coded parts

!! Easy adaptation of hand coded parts to when even necessary

Flexibility/ Extendibility without manual code changes.

!! Many changes of the domain model will be propagated directly into the Xplor

!! Example: Adding of attributes/references to already existing entities

!! A full rebuild/regeneration ends in

!!New DB schema

!!New access methods

!!DB migration script

!!Xplor UI enhancements

!! Note: Of course, the export has to be adapted manually by utilising the generated export- API


In a very agile domain (like SOA) I recommend to use MDSD to be very flexible

without extra effort

Future Prospects – CEISeR Evolution.

!! With our strategic partner we will shift CEISeR to a standard product to decrease/

avoid internal development effort and therefore to safe budget (in the long run). But we will try to place our concepts into the product.

!! We will realize human-oriented workflows with the use of bpm technologie

regarding the processes working with CEISeR to formalize the processes

!! Defining a contract (service interface definition)

!! Defining an architecture, binding, …

!! Service Lifecycle management
