Modeling, Modeling, Modeling: From Web to Enterprise to Crowd to Social

by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, modeling, software, software engineering, Uncategorized

This is our perspective on the world: it’s all about modeling.  So, why is it that model-driven engineering is not taking over the whole technological and social eco-system? Let me make the case that it is. In the occasion of the 25th edition of the Italian Symposium of Database Systems (SEBD 2017) we (Stefano Ceri … Continue reading Modeling, Modeling, Modeling: From Web to Enterprise to Crowd to Social

A Vision towards the Cognification of Model-driven Software Engineering

Jordi Cabot, Robert Clarisó, Marco Brambilla and Sébastien Gerard submitted a visionary paper on Cognifying Model-driven Software Development to the workshop GrandMDE (Grand Challenges in Modeling) co-located with STAF 2017 in Margburg (Germany) on July 17, 2017. The paper advocates for the cross-domain fertilization of disciplines such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, behavioural analytics, social studies, cognitive … Continue reading A Vision towards the Cognification of Model-driven Software Engineering

Instrumenting Continuous Knowledge Extraction, Sharing, and Benchmarking

by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, event

Keeping the pace with the faster and faster evolution of knowledge is becoming a challenge, especially for researchers and knowledge workers. We propose a vision towards a set of (possibly integrated) publicly available tools that can help on this. To this purpose, we expect tools that can improve effectiveness of knowledge extraction, storage, analysis, publishing and experimental benchmarking. This could be extremely beneficial for the entire research community across fields and interests. We describe our vision in this direction and we demonstrate its feasibility with some exemplary tools that we developed and that we shared as public resources to be used by the research community.
