Topic:

In this seminar, the participants will systematically investigate the expressiveness and tool support of state-of-the-art language workbenches (such as Xtext, MPS, or Rascal). The intended result is a joint understanding of the capabilities of modern language workbenches.
In particular, topics from the following areas are offered:

• Features of current Language Workbenches
  • Language Definition
     
  • Projectional Editors
     
  • Customized Editors
     
• Development and quality assurance of code generators
   
• Reuse: composition of languages, generators and models
   
• Variability of modeling languages, tools and architectures
   
• Further topics of language engineering

Requirements: Interest in language engineering and model-driven development processes. The lecture Model-based Software Development (can also be attended in parallel with the seminar) or Software Language Engineering is desirable.
