Models 2016 Program

The web page for the program of the Models 2016 conference is implemented with MDE technologies. A DSL allows general chairs and pc chairs to easily enter the information regarding the program. From this information, we generate a JSON file. We also developed a web page that basically reads the JSON file and generates a graphical representation of the program.

Features

• A DSL, including an Xtext-based textual editor, to design the program of a conference (ressources, events, schedule of the events over the program, and assignement of ressources to the events)
• A generative approach to generate a JSON file specifically tailored for webpage
• An angular app including :
  • select favorite talks
  • export all talks to ics file
  • export favorite talks to ics file

Implementation

The DSL is implemented with Xtext, and the generative approach is implemented with Kermeta and xtend, all included into the GEMOC studio (see dsl folder). The web page is implemented with Bootstrap and AngularJS (see index.html, css/program.css and js/program.js files). An example of the generated JSON file is available in js/data.js file.
