The RoQME Plugins for the SmartMDSD Toolchain are to be released in February/March 2019.

• Support for Domain Experts (Tier 2):
  • A textual model editor enabling the creation and validation of QoS models
• Support for QoS Experts (Tier 3):
  • A textual model editor enabling the creation and validation of QoS models
• Support for System Builders (Tier 3):
  • A model-to-code transformation enabling the generation of a QoS Metrics Provider component model that conforms-to the RobMoSys structures. It is generated from the models by the QoS Engineer.
  • The component generated from a RoQME model (QoS Metrics Provider) can be seamlessly integrated into a RobMoSys architecture and connected to any component willing to use the computed metrics.
• Run-Time support:
  • Visualization for metrics

The collection of RoQME plugins is intended to be used with the SmartMDSD Toolchain.
