Feature Report: Modeling and Interpreting EMF-based Story Diagrams
Holger Giese, Stephan Hildebrandt, Andreas Seibel · 2009
In this paper, we report on the current state of development of our tools around modeling and interpreting EMFbased Story Diagrams, which comprises a graphical editor and an interpreter for Story Diagrams. The editor provides useful features like model validation for Story Diagrams, and advanced editing features like syntax highlighting and code completion for OCL expressions. The interpreter was initially presented in [5]. We showed that the interpreter enables new possibilities, improves the flexibility of applying Story Diagrams but also can improve the performance of execution Story Diagrams. In the meantime, the interpreter evolved. Beside its basic features of a dynamic pattern matching strategy and compatibility to dynamic EMF, we introduce new features like support for map-typed references, containment links and a notification mechanism.
