  1. Elevator SimulatorDSL Project Presented by Miguel Garzón and Stéphane Leblanc

  2. Elevator Simulator • Framework to test the behaviors of elevators in different scenarios • Open Source (LGPL) • Java Project • Authors: Neil McKellar and Chris Dailey • More details can be found athttp://elevatorsim.sourceforge.net/

  3. Elevator Simulator DSL • Domain Specific Language (DSL) over the Elevator Simulator API • Allow to create elevator simulation scenarios

  4. Introductory Example • View the example

  5. Goals of the DSL • Easy to read • Concise • Easy to write • Maintainable • Easy to parse

  6. Target Audience • Developers • Who want to create scenarios for the Elevator Simulator • Who want to look at a DSL implementation example • Non-programmers not taken into account

  7. DSL Metamodel (1)

  8. DSL Metamodel (2) • User Variables

  9. DSL Overview – Metamodel (3)

  10. DSL Creation Technology (1) JET

  11. DSL Creation Technology (2) • Eclipse IDE The Elevator Simulator DSL is deeply integrated with Eclipse. Our DSL comes in the form of an Eclipse Plug-in.

  12. DSL Creation Technology (3) • Xtext for definition of BNF Grammar and Metamodel generation.Xtext is an Eclipse-based DSL generator that was released in 2006 and is built on top of Antlr and other famous Eclipse projects. • One can create Xtext Projects from ecoremodel or a grammardefinition.

  13. Xtext- Generated Artefacts xText OPTIONAL BNF GRAMMAR SEMANTIC MODEL (ECORE) Generates Generates EDITOR PARSER

  14. Xtext- Generated Artefacts xText PARSER EDITOR SEMANTIC MODEL (ECORE) BNF GRAMMAR EMF Model Code

  15. EMF Code Generation • The generated code will consists out of the following: • Interfacesand the Factory to create the Java classes • Concrete implementation of the interfaces defined in model • Utilities • Possibility to modify and extend generated code. • Code that is explicitly marked as @generated NOT is not overwritten.

  16. Xtext- DSL Processing xText EDITOR PARSER BNF GRAMMAR SEMANTIC MODEL (ECORE) Generated Interpreted ESIM file Generated Java Class

  17. DSL Creation Technology (4) • JET (Java Emitter Templates):For Code Generation. • JET will be used to translate our domain specific language into Java classes representing the scenarios that will work with the Elevator Simulator.

  18. JET (Java Emitter Templates) <%@ jet package="org.intranet.sim.dsl.codegen" class="ScenarioGenerator" imports="org.intranet.sim.dsl.scenarioGenerator.*" skeleton="generator.skeleton" %> <% Model model = (Model) argument; Scenario scenario = model.getScenario(); String displayName = scenario.getDisplayName(); String className = scenario.getName(); ... %> public class <%=className%> extends Simulator { … }

  19. Xtext Features (1) • Code Completion • Syntax Highlighting • Linking • Scoping • IntelliSense  • Quick Fix • Warnings

  20. Xtext Features (2) • Test cases: (for testing the editor)

  21. Xtext Features –Validation (1) • Semantic Validation: From OCL constraints defined in the Ecore Model, validation code is generated.

  22. Extension Points • Eclipse provides the concept of "extension points“. • Elevator Simprovides menu actions, icons to enhance the user experience. • org.eclipse.ui.actionSets

  23. Editor Sample Usage

  24. Intelisense: Select a Variable

  25. Syntactic Error: Grammatically Incorrect

  26. Semantic Error: Makes No Sense Semantic Error: Makes No Sense

  27. Deprecated

  28. Quick Fix

  29. Strategies for LanguageEvolution (1) • Incremental Migrations[FowlerMig] V1.1 V1.0 V2.0

  30. Strategies for LanguageEvolution (2) • Model-based migrations [FowlerMig] V1.0 V2.0 V1.1

  31. Strategies for LanguageEvolution (3) • Maintain backward compatibility (Selected) V2.0 V1.1 V1.0

  32. Conclusion • Elevator Simulator DSL simplifies the creation of scenarios • Powered by XText • Allows for model interpretationand for code generation
