Human centric Modelling
There is a modelling at the low-end, that we use every day a million times, and there is modelling at the high-end with comprehensive concepts like UML, MDD etc. Both are good to have. Perhaps approaching the modelling topic from the low-end would make it easier accessible for most of the software practitioners. Continue reading

Evolution of Modeling Tools along the Project Life Cycle
Amongst tool vendors a general assumption seems to be that the work is adapted to the tool, instead of doing it the other way around. How can the appropriate usage of modeling tools be analysed scientificaly, to lead to tool support in the meaning of the tool supports the work and not vice versa … Continue reading

Are your Requirements complete?
Completeness is one big issue in requirements engineering. Here’s how this can be approached by systematic analysis. To me this is already a basic application of modeling and its benefits. Continue reading

UML and Complexity aware modeling
I believe that applying complexity classes to UML can provide a substantial benefit, if it can support the controlled (complexity aware) use of language. Continue reading

The Future of Software Development
We lack tools or languages to express and reason about these distributed, extended, fragmented systems. This can be achieved by modeling. Continue reading
Flow Charts vs. BPMN
Simply the fact that BPMN is more expressive than FC is already not a reason pro BPMN. Continue reading
