Reading this title, two questions should come to your mind: again a new workflow tool? What can bring eclipse and Sirius which does not already exist?

The first question has obsessed us during the whole incubation phase of eWORMS, especially because as Flight Physicists we are generally users of workflows to support our trades, rather than developers. And indeed there are plenty of tools to do workflows on the market, promising easy integration, automation, customization, evolution… whatevertion! But in the end, nothing’s magic: you still have to develop quite a lot wrapping your tools, coupling data from one to the other, managing the failures… all that in a non-IDE tool. And when you need a domain specific workflow feature, the tool is simply not opened to extensions.

You now have an idea of the answers to the second question: what can bring eclipse and Sirius? Extensibility, powerfull IDE… we’ll show in particular how Sirius over EMF allow us to create with minimum development efforts – and thus reasonnable timescale – an extensible workflow modelling product, with graphical capabilities not only at the level of commercial products, but also able to support smartly our domain specific needs regarding workflow modeling.
