Launched!

Welcome to our open source executable UML website. It's new, so a feature or two on the site might be broken, but we'll do what we can to polish it in the coming days. Let us know if you spot any issues or have ideas for improvement. Ultimately, you should be able, as a member, to set up RSS feeds to be notified of future progress, but we're still figuring out how to get all that stuff to work. In the meantime, we'll keep you posted about new features on this page.

miUML is a work in progress. We've got class metamodeling covered and will soon be adding state metamodels.

For now, feel free to browse around, download files, join up and comment here or in the discussion area. And if you would like to help out, please let us know.

Thanks for putting this together. Something of great interest to myself. Been studying S/M since the late 80's and have met Leon on more than 1 occasion - I believe he may have even taught me in a class at the old PT site in the Bay area.

I'll be sure to make plenty of comments, that I hope are helpful contributions.

So here is what should be my 1st comment (but I already jumped in on another topic); What is the plan? Are there certain milestones identified for the project with objectives? What is the project Vision?

[Not looking for timelines or resources or anything like that, since it appears to be an unfunded voluntary project, but I'm sure people will be keen to make suggestions on direction as well as content.]

Hi Leslie, not sure what happened to my original reply. Looks like my browser ate it, trying again...

I think I do remember you from class and thanks for the encouragement here. To answer your question about a roadmap, yes. I sort of have one. Here's the quick sketch, though I should post an official version.

Right now I am deep into the State Model subsystems (State / Polymorphism). Once these are done, I want to take another pass at the Data Type subsystem and fix a thing or two here and there in the Class Metamodel subsystems. Then I need to bring in the Population Subsystem (part 1) followed by Action Language (part 1). I say 'part 1' because I would like to get something workable online in a first pass. Anyway, that's the plan.

All other projects, such as model editors, compilers, import/export will proceed in parallel by anyone who wants to contribute. I think there's enough up here to get going on an miUML Class Model Editor at this point. States coming soon! So there you go.
