Abstract Domain-specific modeling has gained increased attention in industry and aca- demia in recent years leading to the emergence of numerous highly specialized, domain-specific modeling approaches and tools. However, the tools available today focus on one specific aspect of domain-specific modeling and tend to be isolated and difficult to integrate with each other. For instance, some tools focus exclusively on graphical, diagrammatic languages, while others focus on textual languages. The problems caused by this heterogeneous tool landscape become most evident when attempting to use multiple formats together. A first step towards integrating different modeling formats within one single environment has been taken by the latest projective modeling environments which support the embedding of non-textual formats (e.g. tables) into textual model editors. However, in these modeling environments the textual format dominates the embedded formats. Moreover, all of these tools are based on two-level modeling technologies which are limited to one, hard-wired meta- model describing the modeling language and one instance level describing the user model expressed in terms of the language. In addition to the metamodel, the concrete syntax features offered by today’s modeling tools are typically hardwired as well. When multiple notations are available, modelers usually have to decide for one notation before starting. To view the model in an alternative notation, the model has to be opened in a second editor. The approach presented in this thesis for the deep, seamless, multi-format, multi-notation definition and use of domain-specific languages overcomes the aforementioned weaknesses. First, it treats all formats equally, no matter whether text, diagram or some other format. This allows different formats to be used side-by-side, as desired, without influencing one another negatively. Second, it allows a given format to be visualized in multiple notations in one editor, side-by-side. Third, the inherently deep architecture allows deep visualizations to be defined spanning as many classification levels as needed for language definition and use. Fourth, language definitions and visualizations are soft, like language applications, and can be changed at any time by modelers. The approach has been validated by means of an Eclipse EMF-based prototype implementation, called Melanee, and applied to a running example motivated by the ArchiMate Enterprise Architecture Modeling standard. Zusammenfassung Domänenspezifische Modellierung hat in letzter Zeit hohe Aufmerksamkeit von Industrie und Forschung bekommen. Dies führte zur Entwicklung von vielen spezialisierten domänenspezifischen Modellierungswerkzeugen und Ansätzen. Diese Werkzeuge fokussieren sich jedoch nur auf einzelne Aspekte der domä- nenspezifischen Modellierung. Weiter sind diese isoliert und teils schwer mitein- ander integrierbar, da sich beispielsweise manche Werkzeuge nur auf grafische Modellierung und andere Werkzeuge auf textuelle Modellierung fokussieren. Beim Versuch die verschiedenen Formate zu kombinieren werden die Proble- me, die durch diese heterogene Werkzeuglandschaft entstehen, sichtbar. Einen ersten Schritt zur Integration verschiedener Formate innerhalb ei- nes Editors haben die neuesten projektionalen Modellierungsumgebungen un- ternommen. Diese unterstützen das Einbetten von nicht textuellen Formaten (z.B. Tabellen) in textuelle Editoren. Jedoch dominiert das textuelle Format hierbei stark. Auch basieren all diese Werkzeuge auf einer zwei-level Architek- tur. Diese Architektur ist beschränkt auf ein statisches Metamodell, welches die Modellierungssprache beschreibt, und auf ein Instanzmodell, welches das Benutzermodel mit Konzepten des Metamodells ausdrückt. Nicht nur das Me- tamodell, sondern auch die Funktionalitäten im Bereich der konkreten Syntax sind in den bereitgestellten Werkzeugen fest verankert. Wenn mehrere Nota- tionen verfügbar sind muss sich der Benutzer in der Regel für eine von diesen Notationen vor dem Modellieren entscheiden. Um eine alternative Notation zu nutzen muss er das bearbeitete Modell in einem zweiten Editor öffnen. Der in dieser Arbeit präsentierte deep, seamless, multi-format, multi-no- tation definition and use of domain-specific languages Ansatz überwindet die beschriebenen Schwächen. Dieser behandelt alle Formate gleichwertig egal ob Text, Diagramm etc. Hierbei können die verschiedenen Formate parallel be- nutzt werden ohne sich negativ zu beeinflussen. Auch können die einzelnen Notationen innerhalb eines Formats nebeneinander benutzt werden. Durch die durchgängig tiefe Architektur können Sprachen zusammen mit ihrer konkreten Syntax über mehrere Level hinweg definiert werden. Da Sprachdefinition und Visualisierung soft sind können Benutzer diese zu jeder Zeit ändern. Der An- satz wird durch einen EMF-basierten Prototypen, Melanee, demonstriert und auf ein laufendes Beispiel welches sich an ArchiMate orientiert angewandt.

  • Modeling for Rapid Systems Prototyping: Hospital Situational Awareness System Design †
    systems Article Modeling for Rapid Systems Prototyping: Hospital Situational Awareness System Design † Avi Shaked Israel Aerospace Industries ELTA Systems, Ashdod 7710202, Israel; [email protected] † This paper includes a significant elaboration of the work “Shaked, A. On the Road to Hospital Digital Transformation: Using Conceptual Modeling to Express Domain Ontology”. In Proceedings of the 12th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K 2020), Online, 2–4 November 2020. Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic caught hospitals unprepared. The need to treat patients remotely and with limited resources led hospitals to identify a gap in their operational situational awareness. During the pandemic, Israeli Aerospace Industries helped hospitals to address the gap by designing a system to support their effective operation, management and decision making. In this paper, we report on the development of a functional, working prototype of the system using model-based engineering approach and tools. Our approach relies on domain-specific modeling, incorporating metamodeling and domain-specific representations based on the problem domain’s ontology. The tools practiced are those embedded into the Eclipse Modeling Framework—specifically, Ecore Tools and Sirius. While these technological tools are typically used to create dedicated, engineering-related modeling tools, in this work, we use them to create a functional system prototype. We discuss the advantages of our approach as well as the challenges with respect to the existing tools and their underlying technology. Based on the reported experience, we encourage practitioners to adopt model-based engineering as an effective way to develop systems. Furthermore, we call researchers and tool developers to improve the state-of-the-art as well as the existing implementations of pertinent tools to support model-based rapid prototyping.

  • The Metamathematics of Putnam's Model-Theoretic Arguments
    The Metamathematics of Putnam's Model-Theoretic Arguments Tim Button Abstract. Putnam famously attempted to use model theory to draw metaphysical conclusions. His Skolemisation argument sought to show metaphysical realists that their favourite theories have countable models. His permutation argument sought to show that they have permuted mod- els. His constructivisation argument sought to show that any empirical evidence is compatible with the Axiom of Constructibility. Here, I exam- ine the metamathematics of all three model-theoretic arguments, and I argue against Bays (2001, 2007) that Putnam is largely immune to meta- mathematical challenges. Copyright notice. This paper is due to appear in Erkenntnis. This is a pre-print, and may be subject to minor changes. The authoritative version should be obtained from Erkenntnis, once it has been published. Hilary Putnam famously attempted to use model theory to draw metaphys- ical conclusions. Specifically, he attacked metaphysical realism, a position characterised by the following credo: [T]he world consists of a fixed totality of mind-independent objects. (Putnam 1981, p. 49; cf. 1978, p. 125). Truth involves some sort of correspondence relation between words or thought-signs and external things and sets of things. (1981, p. 49; cf. 1989, p. 214) [W]hat is epistemically most justifiable to believe may nonetheless be false. (1980, p. 473; cf. 1978, p. 125) To sum up these claims, Putnam characterised metaphysical realism as an \externalist perspective" whose \favorite point of view is a God's Eye point of view" (1981, p. 49). Putnam sought to show that this externalist perspective is deeply untenable. To this end, he treated correspondence in terms of model-theoretic satisfaction.

Both approaches are interesting and can be used complementary: While text is able to carry more detailed information, a diagram highlights the relationship between elements much better. In the end, a good tool should combine both, and use each notation where it suits best. In this white paper, we will explain the benefits of each approach. Then we will present Eclipse Xtext and Eclipse Sirius, two open-source frameworks for the development of textual and graphical model editors. And finally, we will detailed two use-cases where these two technologies can be integrated in the same modeling workbench. 1 Let’s start Let’s start What modeling is about? Before presenting the graphical and textual modeling approaches, it is important to briefly clarify what we mean by modeling.

Since different formulations of the thesis are being proposed, it is necessary to state how it should be understood. The following is the formulation given by Church: [CT] The concept of the effectively calculable function1 is identical with the concept of the recursive function. The conviction that the above formulation is correct, finds its confirmation in Church’s own words:2 We now define the notion, […] of an effectively calculable function of positive integers by identifying it with the notion of a recursive function of positive integers […]. Frege thought that the material equivalence of concepts is the approximation of their identity. For any concepts F, G: Concept FUMCS is identical with concept G iff ∀x (Fx ≡ Gx) 3. The symbol Fx should be read as “object x falls under the concept F”. The contemporary understanding of the right side of the above equation was dominated by the first order logic and set theory. 1Unless stated otherwise, the term function in this work always means function defined on the set natural numbers, that is, on natural numbers including zero. I would rather use the term concept than the term notion.

Karlsruhe, 10.October 2016 .................................... (B.Sc. Michael Junker) Abstract In model-driven software development, graphical editors can be used to create model instances more eciently and intuitively than with pure XML code. These graphical editors rely on models created on the basis of a meta-model. If such a meta-model is extended invasively not only its code has to be re-generated but also the graphical editor needs to be adapted. When developing multiple extensions, the meta-model as well as the corresponding graphical editor tend to get complex and error-prone. One way of coping with this complexity is to use modular meta-models and extending them noninvasively. However, having multiple meta-model fragments providing extended features is only half the job as equivalent graphical editors are needed as well. This master’s thesis therefore analyzes dierent types of extensions for meta-models as well as on graphical editor level.

Mechanized Metatheory for the Masses: The POPLMARK Challenge Abstract How close are we to a world where every paper on programming languages is accompanied by an electronic appendix with machinechecked proofs? We propose an initial set of benchmarks for measuring progress in this area. Based on the metatheory of System F, a typed lambda-calculus with second-order polymorphism, subtyping, and records, these benchmarks embody many aspects of programming languages that are challenging to formalize: variable binding at both the term and type levels, syntactic forms with variable numbers of components (including binders), and proofs demanding complex induction principles.

  • 9 Alfred Tarski (1901–1983), Alonzo Church (1903–1995), and Kurt Gödel (1906–1978)
    9 Alfred Tarski (1901–1983), Alonzo Church (1903–1995), and Kurt Gödel (1906–1978) C. ANTHONY ANDERSON Alfred Tarski Tarski, born in Poland, received his doctorate at the University of Warsaw under Stanislaw Lesniewski. In 1942, he was given a position with the Department of Mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley, where he taught until 1968. Undoubtedly Tarski’s most important philosophical contribution is his famous “semantical” definition of truth. Traditional attempts to define truth did not use this terminology and it is not easy to give a precise characterization of the idea. The under- lying conception is that semantics concerns meaning as a relation between a linguistic expression and what it expresses, represents, or stands for. Thus “denotes,” “desig- nates,” “names,” and “refers to” are semantical terms, as is “expresses.” The term “sat- isfies” is less familiar but also plausibly belongs in this category. For example, the number 2 is said to satisfy the equation “x2 = 4,” and by analogy we might say that Aristotle satisfies (or satisfied) the formula “x is a student of Plato.” It is not quite obvious that there is a meaning of “true” which makes it a semanti- cal term. If we think of truth as a property of sentences, as distinguished from the more traditional conception of it as a property of beliefs or propositions, it turns out to be closely related to satisfaction. In fact, Tarski found that he could define truth in this sense in terms of satisfaction. The goal which Tarski set himself (Tarski 1944, Woodger 1956) was to find a “mate- rially adequate” and formally correct definition of the concept of truth as it applies to sentences.

  • Critique of the Church-Turing Theorem
    CRITIQUE OF THE CHURCH-TURING THEOREM TIMM LAMPERT Humboldt University Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, D-10099 Berlin e-mail address: lampertt@staff.hu-berlin.de Abstract. This paper first criticizes Church's and Turing's proofs of the undecidability of FOL. It identifies assumptions of Church's and Turing's proofs to be rejected, justifies their rejection and argues for a new discussion of the decision problem. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Critique of Church's Proof 2 2.1. Church's Proof 2 2.2. Consistency of Q 6 2.3. Church's Thesis 7 2.4. The Problem of Translation 9 3. Critique of Turing's Proof 19 References 22 1. Introduction First-order logic without names, functions or identity (FOL) is the simplest first-order language to which the Church-Turing theorem applies. I have implemented a decision procedure, the FOL-Decider, that is designed to refute this theorem. The implemented decision procedure requires the application of nothing but well-known rules of FOL. No assumption is made that extends beyond equivalence transformation within FOL. In this respect, the decision procedure is independent of any controversy regarding foundational matters. However, this paper explains why it is reasonable to work out such a decision procedure despite the fact that the Church-Turing theorem is widely acknowledged. It provides a cri- tique of modern versions of Church's and Turing's proofs. I identify the assumption of each proof that I question, and I explain why I question it. I also identify many assumptions that I do not question to clarify where exactly my reasoning deviates and to show that my critique is not born from philosophical scepticism.
