Model Engineer

Project Overview

Collaborated in a team of three to architect SCML, a modeling language aimed at enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of urban development. Leveraged advanced modeling techniques and transformations to enable seamless planning, data integration, and evaluation of smart cities.

Challenges

•Developing a metamodel to address urban challenges like sustainability, energy efficiency, and smart infrastructure.
•Implementing ATL model transformations to integrate SCML with CAEX for interoperability.
•Creating textual and graphical concrete syntax for enhanced usability across technical and non-technical users.
•Designing automated scoping and validation for consistent and error-free modeling.

Key Achievements

•Successfully defined and implemented a comprehensive SCML metamodel using Ecore, adhering to urban development standards.
•Built a functional ATL transformation to convert SCML models to CAEX, enabling real-world application.
•Developed intuitive textual and graphical modeling tools with Xtext and Sirius, respectively.
•Delivered validated, scalable models addressing challenges in energy consumption, public transport, and air quality monitoring.
