Eclipse Damos

The scope of this project is to provide an integrated development environment for developing data flow-oriented systems using block diagrams.

This will include:

• Metamodel for data flow-oriented system models
• Graphical and textual editors
• A simulation environment for simulating continuous, synchronous and asynchronous systems
• Code generators to transform system models into source code
• A declarative programming language for defining block behavior
• A Block library containing commonly used blocks
• Support for customizing and extending various aspects of the environment, such as simulation engine, code generators, and block libraries
• Support to derive custom data flow-oriented languages based on the structural and diagram editing components of this project

Note that this project is unrelated to process flow and work flow modeling. A description of the conceptual differences is given in the next section.
