T4: The Open-Source Metamodelling Platform ADOxx: Implementing Conceptual Modelling Tools
The research field of conceptual modelling identifies models as artefacts describing a real or proposed system on an abstraction level adequate for a given purpose. To fully utilize the value of models, a modelling method and a corresponding tool must be created, which is no easy undertaking. This tutorial introduces the open-source metamodelling platform ADOxx as a way to ease the creation of modelling tools. It will show in a hands-on manner how ADOxx can be used to implement modelling tools and corresponding model processing functionality to increase model value, allowing users to process, transform or execute the models. Therefore, models cannot only be used within the modelling tool but can be used to interact with and control other information systems or smart devices. To provide insight into the possibilities of model processing, the Bee-Up tool will be introduced as an ADOxx best practice. The scenarios used in the tutorial stem from established teaching cases and from the EU-funded FAIRWork project. The tutorial will provide a theoretical background in metamodelling and metamodelling platforms, showing what is under the hood of the processing functionality. Afterwards, the theoretical concepts will be applied in a hands-on manner during the tutorial.

Wilfried Utz received his PhD from the University of Vienna, Research Group Knowledge Engineering in the field of metamodel design and conceptual structures. He has been involved in international research and innovation projects and gained experience in the field of modelling method conceptualization, meta-model design, and implementation of modelling tools using ADOxx in various application domains. His research and professional interest relate to the knowledge representation using metamodeling concepts and platforms.
Christian Muck is currently in the final stage of his PhD at the University of Vienna. His research interest lies in conceptual modelling and how it can be used together with semantic-rich technologies to support physical design thinking workshops. He also works as a developer and researcher at the OMiLAB NPO, where he is involved in EU-funded research projects and the implementation of modelling tools and applications supporting and using conceptual models.
Patrik Burzynski is a computer scientist, currently working as part of the OMiLAB team, developing applications for modelling and meta-modelling. His interests include programming and meta-modeling. During his study of Business Informatics at the University of Vienna, he was involved in several international research projects (e.g., plugIT, ComVantage). After finishing his master’s degree (Dipl.-Ing.) he worked at the University of Vienna for the research group Knowledge Engineering as a university assistant, teaching courses on Modelling and Meta-Modelling and working on the Bee-Up tool before moving on to join the OMiLAB NPO.
