Wolfgang wf@bitplan.com is from Willich/Germany. I am a teacher for software architecture My first contact with MediaWiki was about the Waiheke Island community wiki in 2008 You'll find the electric vehicles of our company and family on the internet:

⌘⌘ Graph Kernels for Model Driven Software Engineering

• https://modeling-languages.com/graph-kernels-model-driven-software-engineering/

5 Steps

1. Decide how the model should be encoded into a graph
2. Translate each of the models into a labeled graph
3. Select the graph kernel algorithm to be used
4. Load all the graphs and compute the graph kernel
5. Exploit the information in the kernel matrix

⌘⌘ Use SimpleGraph for the 5 Steps

⌘⌘ Step 1: Decide how the model should be encoded into a graph

Each SimpleGraph Module transforms data from some API to a Graph representation. The transformation is usually as "straight-forward" or "natural" as possible.

⌘⌘ Step 2: Translate each of the models into a labeled graph

Each SimpleGraph Module uses the following steps to translate from an API to the graph

1. connect()
2. moveTo()

⌘⌘ Step 3: Select the graph kernel algorithm to be used

SimpleGraph is based on Apache Gremlin/Tinkerpop so all the algorithm and libraries around this graph environment are directly available. If a different graph kernel and or algorithm is needed than the graph can be translated / imported via standard graph import/export formats and or import/export adapters and utilities

⌘⌘ Step 4: Load all the graphs and compute the graph kernel

Simplegraph is based on the Hub&Spoke approach. Any combination of modules/API can be applied. Currently there are some 20 different modules to choose from.

⌘⌘ Step 5: Exploit the information in the kernel matrix

There are two modes for exploiting the information:

1. OLAP
2. OLTP

⌘⌘ What is SimpleGraph?

Simplegraph allows to work with "graphized" information source from a combination of APIs that are made available as modules.

⌘⌘ What is Apache TinkerPop/Gremlin?

Apache Tinkerpop is an Open Source project.

• OLTP - Online Transaction Processing - Navigation and Processing
• OLAP - Online Analytical Processing - Queries
• - Example - Ancestors of King James

⌘⌘ SimpleGraph Dragtop

The Dragtop Open Source Software makes the SimpleGraph modules available for direct access from your Desktop. By simple drag and drop of the input onto the dragtop and then dropping a "tool" onto the dragtop you can combine the module functionality as you see fit.

• .java Source Files: FileSystem module
• Java Classes: JavaSystem
• .class Files: Filesystem module (Bytecode parser?)
