Conclusions
 Review of this new approach
 full featured automatic communication code
generation based on a single business model
 one ecore file as input and two ready for use
eclipse plugins as output
 really easy to update as all features are based on
the model
 Reminder of some metrics
 5kloc of C++, 30kloc of Java and 12kloc of XML
 generic implementation of the communication
protocol in mtl
 Rich GUI editors production
 easier access for non Eclipse / SWT experts

What next ?
 test scalability on larger models: many
hundreds concepts
 produce pre-built model libraries and
compose them to build richer data model
 take into account specific data used in
parallel codes
 implement another communication protocol
(JSON)
 enhance the link with existing models and
with data stored in relational database
 EEF enhancement to take into account new
business use cases and requirements
