Lab Course: Online IDE and MontiArc

Inhalt / Content

MontiArc is a modeling framework and toolbox to model static architectures of embedded software. MontiArc's semantic is very similar to Matlab Simulink; both use Component and Connector models. In MontiArc you can model self-driving cars architectures, interaction with robotics. In previous work the following has been done to make modeling in MontiArc convenient:

• Syntax highlighting for MontiArc Models in Cloud9-IDE
• Generate Outline of MontiArc Models in Cloud9-IDE
• Autocompetion for Connectors, Components and Ports
• SVG-Generator to illustrate MontiArc models graphically

All these parts will be extended in this lab:

• Show Parser and Semantic error messages directly in Cloud9-IDE
• Make the SVG-Generator interactive: navigate through an C&C model
• Syntax highlighting for MontiView models in Cloud9-IDE
• Extend the SVG generator to show counter-examples of C&C verification

6 bachelor and 6 master students can attend this lab, where they build three groups á 2 bachelor and 2 master students. Every week one meeting will take place, where every groups presents its results of the previous work. This lab lab teaches you the following skills:

• Test Driven Development: JUnit test, test coverage
• Working together in a group: You will self-organize your team.
• How to use Git, Maven and Jenkins
• Improve your Java and JavaScript skills
• Get knowledge about Model-Driven-Development

Here are some pictures of existed Work:
