Topics and Goals

Fujaba is an Open Source UML CASE tool project started at the software engineering group of Paderborn University in 1997. In 2002 Fujaba has been redesigned and became the Fujaba Tool Suite with a plug-in architecture allowing developers to add functionality easily while retaining full control over their contributions.

Fujaba followed the model-driven development philosophy right from its beginning in 1997. At the early days, Fujaba had a special focus on code generation from UML diagrams resulting in a visual programming language with a special emphasis on object structure manipulating rules. Today, at least six rather independent tool versions are under development in Paderborn, Kassel, and Darmstadt for supporting (1) reengineering, (2) embedded real-time systems, (3) education, (4) specification of distributed control systems, (5) integration with the ECLIPSE platform, and (6) MOF-based integration of system (re-)engineering tools.

According to our knowledge, quite a number of research groups have also chosen Fujaba as a platform for UML and MDA related research activities. In addition, quite a number of Fujaba users send us requests for more functionality and extensions.

Therefore, the 6th International Fujaba Days aim at bringing together Fujaba developers and Fujaba users from all over the world to present their ideas and projects and to discuss them with each other and with the Fujaba core development team. We look for

• Reports and tool demonstrations of new features or projects extending Fujaba
• Reports and tool demonstrations of Triple Graph Grammar related work
• Position papers presenting innovative ways of using Fujaba
• Tutorial proposals explaining how to use or extend Fujaba (plugins)
• Papers on applications and experiences (success stories and failures)

The proceedings will be published as a technical report.
