The document discusses the ARTIST EU project focused on migrating non-cloud software to cloud environments using Eclipse technologies, with a budget of nearly 9.7 million euros. It highlights industrial feedback from multiple partners on various tools developed under the project, including benefits and limitations related to automation, model extraction, and code generation. The document concludes with an invitation for further questions and provides a link to the open-source package related to the project.

- 3. The ARTIST EU Project Facilitating the transformation and modernization of non-Cloud software assets & businesses to the Cloud
- 4. The ARTIST EU Project Project name: Advanced software-based seRvice provisioning and migraTIon of legacy Software Project type: IP Duration: 36 months Start date: October 1, 2012 Total budget / Total EC funding: 9,690,258 euros / 6,953,705 euros Project Consortium: 10 partners (3 third parties)

- 6. The ARTIST EU Project What is actually provided? Where are Eclipse solutions involved? What do the industrial partners say?
- 7. What ARTIST provides? Reverse engineering Taxonomy Forward engineering CloudML@ARTIST A catalogue of Cloud opt. patterns Certification Model Methodology A Handbook and a Methodology Process Tool 2 Toolboxes Repository of Artefacts Feasibility analysis Business Technical Transformat. (M2M, M2T) ARTIST Tools
- 8. ARTIST & Eclipse? ARTIST Open Source Release and developed tools mostly Eclipse-based Support for both Java/JEE and C#/.NET (via Eclipse – Enterprise Architect model bridge) Extensive use of Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and related technologies
- 9. EMF for data/model handling
- 10. UML & Papyrus for model exchange/interoperability
- 11. Xtext & UML Profiles for language definition (DSLs) Goal Modeling Language CloudML@ARTIST
- 12. Sirius for graphical modeling Business Feasibility Tool (BFT)
- 13. EPF for process modeling Methodology Process Tool (MPT)
- 14. MoDisco for reverse engineering
- 15. ATL/Acceleo for model transformation/code generation
- 16. BIRT for report generation Maturity Assessment Tool (MAT)
- 18. Industrial feedback: Atos (Spain) MoDisco: reverse engineering (UML class-activity discovery) ATL: PIM abstraction, re-architecturing (PIM & PSM levels) Acceleo: generation PSM to code Tsunamis early detection system ARTIST: migration of the operators desktop (SWT/Jface) to a webtop (GWT/GXT) User interface & data schema
- 19. Industrial feedback: Atos (Spain) Benefits Limitations Automation, modularity, reusability at PIM-PSM levels • Model extraction / discovery • Re-engineering / transformation • Code generation • (Model) Extraction of execution semantics / behaviors • Generalization / abstraction from different technologies, frameworks, etc.
- 20. Industrial feedback: ENGINEERING (Italy) MoDisco: reverse engineering (UML class discovery) ATL: PIM abstraction (component models) Sirius: Business Feasibility Tool eGov application – integration of public administrations’ processes and data (Java/JEE) ARTIST: easier deployment of a PaaS in a Cloud
- 21. Industrial feedback: ENGINEERING (Italy) Benefits Limitations • Automation (model discovery on OS components) • Structuring approach (transformation for Cloud deployment) • Simplification of GUI/tooling development (Sirius – BFT) • (Model) extraction / transformation of behaviors • Integration with graphical tools (in some cases) • Comprehensive documentation/tutorials • Customization of pre- defined features
- 22. Industrial feedback: Spikes (Belgium) – MoDisco: reverse engineering (XML-based configuration files) – UML2: new model discoverers for SharePoint and DBML – Enterprise Architect – Eclipse bridge: model import/export – Acceleo: Generation of target platform code + XML files Business Collaboration Suite (.NET platform & Microsoft components) ARTIST: Transformation of on premise product line solution to (Azure) PaaS hosted SaaS
- 23. Industrial feedback: Spikes (Belgium) Benefits Limitations • Automation (model discovery / extraction) • Visu/inspection capabilities (model-level) • Generation features (M2T) • Support /experience with .NET/C# • Scalability issues on very big projects (e.g. in Papyrus) Distinction between industrial robust components and more early developments could be improved
- 24. Industrial feedback: ATC (Greece) Eclipse technologies used – Papyrus: UML model editing – Enterprise Architect – Eclipse bridge: model import/export Media app for news agencies (.NET-based) ARTIST: create base app version Hosted in Cloud environment Configured for customer needs
- 25. Industrial feedback: ATC (Greece) Benefits Limitations • Automation (model discovery / extraction) • Visu/inspection capabilities (model-level) •Support /experience with .NET/C# (modern constructs) • Scalability issues on very big projects (e.g. compared to Enterprise Architect)
