Eclipse Sirius
A graphic model is worth a thousand words
Does your job consist in devising and designing innovative solutions in a complex environment?
If this is the case, you will need an efficient tool to describe your design choices, define an architecture, as well as analyze and validate it. What’s more, you must be able to communicate this work to various contacts: your customers, your partners, but also your development teams.
Openness and flexibility
Your custom modeling workbenches
Sirius is a solution that enables you to graphically design complex systems (software, business activities, physics, etc.) while keeping the corresponding data consistent (architecture, component properties, etc.).
To achieve this, Sirius helps you very easily create a customized modeling workbench that is dedicated to your area of expertise and supports your design concept.
Principles
Adjustable to your domain
A graphical modeler made with Sirius is mainly composed of editors (diagrams, tables, trees) allowing the final user to create, edit and visualize data with a language adapted to his specific work-field vocabulary.
Editors are defined by a configuration which specifies the complete structure of the workbench, alongside its editing and navigating tools.
This kind of workbench configuration is based on the definition of the concepts that are specific to your business domain (Domain Model). It is then dynamically interpreted by a runtime integrated into an Eclipse environment.
Open Source
An Eclipse Foundation project
Available as Open Source, Sirius is integrated into annual versions of the Eclipse platform thanks to compliance with very strict development standards and a stringent development process. It guarantees the quality and transparency that have built the reputation of this worldwide distributed platform.
Since the earliest contributions, the Sirius team has also worked hard to ensure a broad community of users signs up to this revolutionary technology.
Tried and tested technology
Already deployed on numerous projects
Sirius is the result of a partnership launched in 2007 with Thales. It lies at the heart of the 'Capella' Systems Engineering workbench which has been extensively deployed in operational units for the aerospace, transport, energy, and communication sectors.
Sirius is also the cornerstone of the management application design workbench of the French Ministry of Defense and underpins a technology used to create satellite applications for the European Space Agency.
What makes the abundance and variety of modeling workbenches created with Sirius possible is the great number of features offered in the standard version: viewpoints, layers, conditional styles, validation rules, navigation tools, etc.
