<div class="markdown_content"><p>We are happy to announce the first beta release of the model analysis framework. The MAF project provides a powerful analysis tool built upon the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). It allows to define data-flow analysis (DFA) on (EMF) meta models using Java directives or an extended OCL syntax. The framework can then instantiate and evaluate the defined analysis for arbitrary instances of the meta model.</p> <p>Use cases include but are not limited to the computation of the cycle time of business processes, the generation of test cases or the analysis of model metrics.</p> <p>Currently supported features:<br /> * runnable as Eclipse plugin<br /> * GUI independant framework core<br /> * framework core designed to run as a background service<br /> * can be easily extended using own input/output adapters<br /> * full support for EMF (meta) models<br /> * internal model repositories for meta models / models / data flow extensions<br /> * formalize DFA equations using Java or OCL</p> <p>The beta release can be obtained from the SF SVN and consists of the following Eclipse plugins (for Galileo):<br /> * MAF-CORE - the framework core (required)<br /> * MAF-MODELS - the internal models (required)<br /> * MAF-GUI-TEST - a simple graphical interface along with some test cases</p> <p>MAF is a project located at the Programming Distributes Systems Lab at the University of Augsburg, Germany.</p> <p><a href="http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/en/chairs/swt/ds/" rel="nofollow">http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/en/chairs/swt/ds/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/en/chairs/swt/ds/projects/mde/maf/" rel="nofollow">http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/en/chairs/swt/ds/projects/mde/maf/</a></p></div>
