Code Generation 2008 Programme Information

Session Title	Using Eclipse Modeling Tools to develop LEGO Mindstorms Robots
Session Type	Tutorial
Duration	90 minutes
Session Description	This session will show how to use tools from the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP) to create an integrated, Eclipse-based, model-driven development environment for LEGO Mindstorms Robots. We will show how to create a code generator based on oAW's Xpand framework, and how to seamlessly integrate this generator with a graphical, GMF-based statechart editor. At the end of the session we will use this domain specific IDE to develop and run a program for a LEGO Mindstorms Robot.
