| <p> |
| This is the project plan for |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe">Tigerstripe</a> |
| 1.0.0 |
| </p> |
| <p>While our goal is to be ready graduate out of incubation by |
| the end of the plan, we acknowledge that we have quite a bit of work |
| ahead of us, so the detailed content of some of the future release |
| may be adjusted and certainly very much influenced by community |
| requirements.</p> |
| <p>At the time of writing of this plan, version 0.4 has just been |
| released and includes a significant refactoring of the framework to |
| enable more customization of Tigerstripe as a |
| Model-Driven-Engineering environment for the Telecommunication |
| Industry.</p> |
| <p>We are going to continue working towards graduation throughout |
| the years and will focus on removing all the remaining legacy code |
| and continue building our user and adopter communities.</p> |
| <p> |
| Our key drivers for this year are: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Making Tigerstripe a robust, scalable environment for |
| Model-Driven-Engineering with special focus on the |
| Telecommunication Industry.</li> |
| <li>Provide a customizable modeling end-user framework, as |
| we acknowledge that multiple domains within the Telecom Industry |
| have different modeling requirements.</li> |
| <li>Leverage all existing Eclipse project where applicable |
| (Modeling, buckminster, etc.) and remove redundant legacy code.</li> |
| <li>Build our communities of Users and Adopters</li> |
| <li>Aim for project graduation</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| </div><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><div> |
| <p> |
| The release deliverables will be split across an intermediary 0.x |
| release (0.5 'Bora') which will will be the last build of |
| Tigerstripe with its legacy core. |
| <br/> |
| Starting with the 1.0 stream, the legacy core will be completely |
| removed and we will be relying solely on EMF objects |
| </p> |
| <p>In order to accomplish this transition, we have already started |
| building a and EMF-based version of the Tigerstripe model elements, |
| which will be available in the late maintenance releases of 0.4 |
| 'Alize'. </p> |
| <p>For 0.5 'Bora' we will focus on end-user customizations for the |
| modeling environment and address some of the long standing bugs in |
| Bugzilla</p> |
| <p>As of 1.0, Tigerstripe will provide a complete MDE framework, |
| that can be customized into specific domains with Telecom Industry |
| and possibly others.</p> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><div> |
| <p> |
| Our aim is to first to address some known issues in 0.4 with a few |
| quick maintenance release. |
| <br/> |
| The first couple of milestone builds for 0.5 will focus on |
| stabilization and bug fixes, in order to set up a clean slate for |
| the final EMF transition. |
| <br/> |
| The 0.5 release will deliver a user-configurable (as opposed to 0.4 |
| which is driven by ext. points and programming only) modeling |
| environment. |
| <br/> |
| 1.0 will mainly focus on replacing the legacy core with an EMF |
| based core, and address bugs. No major feature enhancement is |
| currently planned. |
| </p> |
| </div><table border="1" align="center"><tr><td><b>0.4.1</b></td><td>10/13/2008</td><td><div> |
| <p>First planned maintenance release for 0.4. This release will |
| mainly address a few known issues with regards Diagram Auditing and |

| <p>Urgent bug fixes will be provided per community requests.</p> |
| </div></td></tr><tr><td><b>0.4.2</b></td><td>11/10/2008</td><td><div> |
| <p> |
| This second planned maintenance release for 0.4 will add a minor |
| functionality, while addressing another set of bugs: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Instance Diagram API: allowing to programmatically |
| create instance diagrams on-the-fly from a model.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p>Some basic EMF support will be provided to read Tigerstripe |
| models into EMF objects, allowing for example the use of OCL. </p> |
| </div></td></tr><tr><td><b>0.5M0</b></td><td>12/19/2008</td><td><div> |

| will instead focus on stabilizing the underlying framework.</p> |
| <p> |
| Key areas include: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Class diagram re-work for better alignments with latest |
| GMF version. The current version was generated with GMF 1.x and |
| is starting to show limitations compared to current GMF version.</li> |
| <li>Progress on re-building existing legacy features |
| (Facets, e.g.) on EMF-based core</li> |

| <p>This year will be focused on maturation and graduation for |
| Tigerstripe. So, while we will be putting efforts in the code base, |
| we will also actively work on developing our user community</p> |
| </div><h3>Appealing to the Broader Community</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| The |
| <a href="http://www.tmforum.org">TeleManagement Forum</a> |
| has adopted Tigerstripe to build next generation Telecommunication |
| standards. |
| </p> |
| <p>We will work with TMF member companies to strengthen the |
| position of Tigerstripe and develop its use across the industry</p> |
| <p>We will promote Tigerstripe through online and face-2-face |
| events as often as possible.</p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><div> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Up2date online documentation posted on website.</li> |
| <li>Recorded presentations and short tutorials to help get |
| started on using Tigerstripe and building custom environments on |
| top of Tigerstripe</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div></li></ul><h3>Design for Extensibility and Scalabitily</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| Tigerstripe is intended to enable Model-Driven Engineering based |
| on large models for mission critical production systems. We focus |
| on 2 key aspects: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Extensibility: allowing users and adopters to |
| customize the modeling environment to meet their specific needs. |
| This is accomplish through a series of documented extensions |
| points allowing to decorate models, work with different |
| meta-models, etc. </li> |
| <li>Scalability: with built-in features to ensure |
| that large models can be handled across geographically |
| distributed teams, with a high level of granularity.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p>As part of this effort, we are working towards making |
| Tigerstripe seamlessly integrated with other existing Modeling |
| projects.</p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><div> |
| <ul> |
| <li>True EMF-based version of Tigerstripe, and identify other |
| candidate modeling projects for integration.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div></li></ul><h3>MDE Framework and End-User 'turn-key' solution</h3><div> |
| <p>Tigerstripe aims at providing both an Eclipse |
| Framework for adopters to build upon, but also a end-user |
| workbench that doesn't require any programming and yet allows |
| organization to adopt MDE quickly. </p> |
| <p> |
| For every release we provide 3 features that can |
| installed/downloaded separatly: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Tigerstripe Annotation Framework: a framework to |
| annotate any resource or java element in the Eclipse workspace. |
| Definitions for the content of the annotations is done through |
| EMF's Ecore. This framework is independent of the rest of |
| Tigerstripe code, yet the Tigerstripe we provide a direct |
| integration allowing to annotation Tigerstripe model elements.</li> |
| <li>Tigerstripe Core Framework: offering all the model |
| access/edit, generation and auditing capabilities found in the |
| Tigerstripe workbench, without the UI</li> |
| <li>Tigerstripe Workbench: the end-user MDE |
| environment, including model editing, Class diagrams, Instance |
| diagrams, Facets, generation, etc.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><div> |
| <ul> |
| <li>User-defined Modeling templates.</li> |
| <li>Performance enhancements to avoid too frequent |
| audits of models</li> |
| </ul> |
