Protocols

Protocols of the meetings

17.07.2018

• Create an UML class diagram editor with the following functionality
  • Create and remove classes
  • Permit adding and removing of attributes to classes
  • Allow adding and removing of inheritance relations between classes
  • Allow adding and removing of associations between classes
  • Associations have a name and two multiplicity constraints at each end, whereas each is editable
  • Permit adding and removing of packages, which lists the classes it contains
  • Allow the editor to step in to "packages", where classes, packages, inheritance, and associations can be added and removed
  • Optionally, check inputs to names, multiplicities and attributes for correctness
• Think about useful user interactions for the editor
• Refine your architecture to support modular development

24.07.2018

Notes

• presentation of new UML features
• analyzing possible future requirements (see page "Requirements")
  • "flat" and "deep" model representation
  • file handling (save, load, export, esp. PDF)
  • templates for "core models" as adaptation starting point -> base for new models (instead of greenfield approach)
  • model views: different (graphical) representations for the same underlying model -> no different data; defined by the users' needs
  • metadata for models and views
  • separation of CROM and BROS feature sets for model creation
  • IDE comfort features (error highlighting, auto-completion, minimap)
  • general server usability
• introduction into BROS and its concepts (with mapping on new requirements)
• user interface analysis
  • view management
  • structure tree for already available elements (?) -> creating views needs selectable elements
  • minimal toolbox for new elements
  • configuration hidden via sidebar or right-click
  • creating new elements via left-click on existing elements
  • fixed background grid

Todos (2-3 weeks)

• complete previous todos
• extending the functionality of the UML editor
  • relationships
    • different types
    • names, multiplicities
    • directed and undirected
    • drag-drop of anchor points
  • entities
    • different types
  • configuration
    • change element type at runtime
    • add (graphically hidden) data to elements: a comment box (for demonstrating purposes) which is only available via sidebar/floating edit window/...
