What is IIOSS?

IIOSS is a software development environment that offers a tool whose multiple facets include a UML editor, a model simulator, an interface builder, a file converter and an object-oriented database. IIOSS can be used to design, to model, to prototype and to develop an object-oriented software. IIOSS is the acronym for "Integrated Inter-exchangeable Object-modeling and Simulation System for Opensouce software environment". The following list characterizes what IIOSS is about:

Opensource software licensed under "The modified BSD license" style lisence
100% pure Java coding
Vender-independent and multi-platform nature
Compliancy with industry-standards such as UML, XML/XMI and Java

IIOSS is an opensource software and can be obtained and used freely from www.iioss.org.

IIOSS' 6 subsystems

Currently, the IIOSS project has six (6) subsystems which are under development. They are briefly explained in the following links:

MEF: Model Editing Facility
A visual UML modeling tool which is based on Argo/UML with many new functions added. The current version supports Class, Use Case, Collaboration, Sequence, Statechart and Activity Diagrams based on UML 1.1. It also supports Diagram Navigation and Static Analysis.
MDF: Model Debugging Facility
MDF enables you to simulate a UML model you have created using MEF. This simulation can help you verify wheteher your model exhibits behaviors as you wanted to design with MEF. Thanks to MDF, you don't have to encode your UML model before you try to find out whether it is designed as you intended it ought to be. Our first release contains sequential simulation facilities.
IBF: Interface Building Facility
IBF builds three interfaces, which are for GUI, Database, and Networking, respectively. IBF has been developed primarily based on Korfe. The types of builders that IBF provides are Swing GUI, RDBMS interface for PostgreSQL or ORACLE, OODB interface for IIOSS DBF, Java RMI interface and Java IDL interface.
FCF: Format Conversion Facility
FCF enables format conversion between model objects and implementation objects. The current version supports both XMI to Java and Java to XMI.
DBF: DataBase Facility
DBF is an object database management system. It supports Java and is of the language binding compliant with the ODMG standard. DBF's Object Oriented Database engine is based on sO and has been extended to handle XML-based data.
IDE: Integrated Development Environment
It is IIOSS' IDE which is organized for the above subsystems.
