ADOxx based Tool Support for a Behavior Centered Modeling Approach

Meta-modeling platforms that support the automatic generation of modeling tools open a new quality in information systems development for engineers: Emphasis can be put on the design and use of a modeling language that is customized to the particular needs and desired features. This may contribute to strengthen the information-system design phase as it helps to reduce the developers’ aversion against overloaded modeling languages and inflexible or expensive modeling tools. Our demo paper introduces HCM-L Modeler, a modeling tool for the Human Cognitive Modeling Language (HCM-L), which has been implemented using the meta-modeling platform ADOxx. The modeler is component of an ambient assistance information system for supporting elder persons in mastering their daily life activities.
