3 What is the ADOxx Platform? Definition and some Characteristics The ADOxx platform is a metamodelling-based development and configuration environment to create domain-specific modelling tools. Scalability Multi Product Ability Web-enabled Adaptability Extended Multi User Support Openness Client-side and server-side components Multi-threaded Extension Capabilities Component-oriented (incl. migrateable component settings) Web Service interfaces using standards Web Client Metamodelling with a rich set of concepts Personalization, Scripting Multi-Level Customizing Event-based Flexible view concept Shared repository (incl. sophisticated search mechanisms) Role-based Access Extended Multi-Language Support and Unicode SSO support BOC Group boc@boc-group.com 3

4 The ADOxx Workspaces ADOxx (Product Workspace) The Product Development Environment Create new modelling products Configure pre-defined components Define new functionality by using the extension mechanisms ADOxx (Administration Workspace) The Configuration and Administration Environment Create your own metamodel or DSL Customer specific extensions via Scripting Administration (user rights, model rights, rights on rights) Import/Export (application libraries (= metamodels), repositories, models, objects, user) ADOxx (Modelling Workspace) The Modelling Environment Separated in Rich Client and Web Client Intuitive Usage Sophisticated Repository Mechanisms Powerful Analysis Flexible Publishing Multiple Languages Support and Unicode Import/Export Mechanisms BOC Group 4

10 Tool Development Lifecycle with ADOxx Collect requirements Define metamodel Select Components What is the tool s objective? Define tool appearance Configure languages Create installations Which problems should be solved? Which modelling constructs will be used? Definition of concrete and abstract syntax of the modelling language Which components build up the tool? Configure/define components, assemble components etc. How should the tool visually appear? Define product identity. Which languages should be supported? Translate language specifics, set required and mandatory languages Which tool parts are part of the installation package? Define installation package BOC Group boc@boc-group.com 10

13 ADOxx Supported Integration Scenarios Client-side integration Call of third-party Java-based components via LiveConnect JavaScript components (native support of JavaScript) Call of external DLLs COM-based client-side integration to ADOxx Rich Clients Server-side integration Web Service-based integration Distributed service components integrated via aserver to ADOxx Repository jadoxx as Integration Bridge" Build your own Java-based client for ADOxx (integration in Eclipse) Note: jadoxx requires Windows operating system. File-based Repository Integration APIs for XML import/export APIs for XMI-based metamodel exchange BOC Group 13
