Installation instructions

OVERVIEW

Our framework deals with UML models made of the following diagrams: a Component Diagram that describes the software components and their Interfaces/Operations; a Deployment Diagram that describes the allocation of artifacts, corresponding to components, on platform nodes; an Use Case Diagram that describes the actors and the use cases that they can execute; a number of Sequence Diagrams, one for each use case, that describe the system behavior in terms of interactions among components.

INSTALLATION

1. Download Eclipse Modelling Tool: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/
2. Installing from its Update Site (http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/1.3/updates/) in Eclipse the following EPSILON plugins only:
   • core
   • development tools
   • EMF integration
   • GMF integration
   • UML integration
3. Cloning PADRE from https://github.com/SEALABQualityGroup/padre.git
4. Import in eclipse PADRE projects
5. Create a running configuration in:

• EVL
  • Select an EVL file (e.g. padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/evl/AP-UML-MARTE.evl)
  • Give a name (e.g. BGCS)
  • Select a model from workspace (e.g. padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/model/uml/BGCS/BGCS.uml)
  • Select only this metamodels:
    • UML standar profile
    • UML
    • Ecore
• EPL
  • Select an EPL file (e.g. padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/epl/AP-UML-MARTE.epl)
  • Give a name (e.g. BGCS)
  • Select a model from workspace (e.g. padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/model/uml/BGCS/BGCS.uml)
  • Select only this metamodels:
    • UML standar profile
    • UML
    • Ecore
• EWL
  1. Add new EMF/GMF wizard (from Eclipse preferences -> epsilon -> EMF/GMF wizards)
  2. Select an EWL files from workspace (e.g. padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/ewl/AP-UML-MARTE.ewl)
  3. Select the UML namespace uri (http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/5.0.0/UML)

6. enjoy :-)

Getting started guidelines

EXAMPLES

We provide an example UML project that is a UML model representation of a Botanical Garden Control System (BGCS). It is stored in padre/it.spe.disim.epsilon.antipattern_d-s/model/uml/BGCS/BGCS.uml. It is already filled with performance indices, and it is ready to use for a dummy execution.
