Projects for MCS Students at UOttawa supervised by Prof. Timothy Lethbridge

I am always interested in taking on 2-4 MCS students in CSI6900 each academic year.

Your task would be to undertake research and development focusing on improving Umple in some way. Contact me via Teams using id tcltcl@uottawa.ca if you are interested.

The main research directions I am working on are:

• Improving how requirements are represented within Umple so that AIs can use them to generate models and code.
• Improving the new version of UmpleOnline and experimenting with how it compares to the classic version.
• Generating new deterministic compilers (using AI) for modern languages like Rust and Go.
• Exploring how developers can better understand and review code generated by AIs if it is structured as models (in Umple) with embedded code
• Improving other aspects of the UX of Umple
• Adding optional plugins to compilers for different frameworks and persistence mechanisms
• Building demonstration applications in Umple
• Creating large-scale Umple data models from various sources
• ... and more
