OSS/BSS Systems

• OSS/BSS System are all like

– A runtime environment

– GUI for End-Users

– Integration points to IT

infrastructure

– Based on an information

model, somehow persisted

Billing

SLA

CRM

Tigerstripe

What is Tigerstripe?

• A Model-Driven-Engineer (MDE) framework for

Eclipse (technology sub project in Incubation)…

– Modeling environment

– Meta-model based on UML2, tailored for Telecom/IT

Services

– Generation Engine

– Headless component (Maven)

… for large scale OSS/BSS applications,

driven by a model

Tigerstripe

Real-size Model-Driven Engineering

• MDE User are not UML ExpertsUse UML2-based Domain-Specific Language

• Enterprise Models are BIGModel scoping, Effective SCM Integration

• Model spans Multiple OrganizationsControlled access to model components

• End-to-end processRole-based use of the platform

Tigerstripe Project Update

• Project was formed in Jan’08.

– Initial Contribution by Cisco Systems.

– Transparency (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tigerstripe_Project_Status)

• Weekly “community calls”

• Quarterly f2f design meetings

• Focus: get the first release out!

• Migrate existing user-community to open-source version

• Align with Eclipse guidelines, processes.

• Enable adoption and RCP Applications on top of base

• Develop contributors and adopters communities

14


Tigerstripe

Highlights of Tigerstripe 0.3

• Generic Annotations Framework

– Decouple Model and Annotations for more

flexible code generation

• Instance-driven generation

• Componentization

• EMF migration

– Read/Write Tigerstripe models through EMF

natively

• Better UML Import/Export

15


Tigerstripe

Release Plan

• Working on first open source release(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tigerstripe_0.3_stream)

• Wiki is up and growing– Growing content, tutorial,

Metamodel, Design, meeting minutes, etc…

– Community info, dev info

• Bugzilla and newsgroupare seeing some initialactivity

providers

– OSS & Equipment Vendors

– System Integrators

– Define standard recommendations for the OSS/BSS community

– Two annual tradeshows– Nice (May), Dallas (Nov)

– Sessions, Expo and Catalyst Projects

– OSS/J part of TMForum

Use of Tigerstripe in OSS/J

• Tool to design the interface

• Tigerstripe artifacts stored in private

java.net project (CVS) and shared with the

Expert Group

• Common Tigerstripe module used by all

projects

• Automated build procedure (maven) to

generate the whole kit from the Tigerstripe

artefacts

Tigerstripe Benefits for OSS/J

• Allow a single functional definition for 3

different interfaces (Java, XSD and WSDL)

• Keep all 3 interfaces in sync

• Enforces consistent use of the Design

Guidelines in the interfaces

• Common look and feel for all OSS/J

interfaces

• Offer a UML-like view easier to use for

spec lead

Tigerstripe and TIP

• TIP is just starting and Tigerstripe has

been selected as tool to generate the

interfaces

• Expected benefits

–End-to-end traceability from SID model to

generated interfaces

–Consistent use and enforcement of TIP

design guidelines, creating consistency

across the APIs

–Simpler interface for defining the APIs
