Then editor, i.e. projected, into different views, using editor aspects. we will introduce basic concepts of language design in MPS For instance, the same program can be projected into textual through our SimpliC implementation, and discuss the lessons notation, diagram editor or symbolic editor [7]. Moreover, we learned from this. We also discuss an evaluation of this constraints and behaviours add rules to construct program process and present related academic work. structure. Finally, previous aspects of language contruction enable MPS to perform a lot of static analysis such as type 1 Introduction checking, name analysis and code generation. For educational purpose, we used a C-like language called Designing compilers is a complex task, requiring different SimpliC. SimpliC is a reduced-concepts language with most steps.

  • Alembicue: a Projectional Editor & IDE for Container Application Architecture
    Computer Science 18COC251 B627091 Alembicue: A projectional editor & IDE for container application architecture George Garside Supervisor: Dr. Daniel Reidenbach Loughborough University Summer 2019 Abstract The lack of a competent integrated development environment for Docker is a detriment to the field of containerisation and cloud computing. This project documents the development of Alembicue, a projectional and productive Docker IDE, implementing a more formally specified language definition, representative of what is necessary to create imagesfor use with a containerisation platform. Alembicue guarantees syntactic correctness with a projectional editor mutating an abstract syntax tree, incorporating contextual intentions and quick fixes to suggest and automatically apply standards and best practices. Alembicue’s launch has been a success, being received well by the community with tens of thousands of interested visitors to the project page, and elated testimonials from those having used the application and the innovative concepts portrayed within. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Daniel Reidenbach, for his consistent support and valuable feedback on my work. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support in my studies. ii alembicate, v. 1627. transitive.

  • Deep, Seamless, Multi-Format, Multi-Notation Definition and Use of Domain-Specific Languages
    Deep, Seamless, Multi-format, Multi-notation Definition and Use of Domain-specific Languages Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften der Universität Mannheim vorgelegt von Diplom-Wirtschaftsinformatiker Ralph Gerbig aus Worms Mannheim, 2017 Dekan: Professor Dr. Heinz Jürgen Müller, Unversität Mannheim Referent: Professor Dr. Colin Atkinson, Unversität Mannheim Korreferent: Professor Dr. Juan de Lara, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 24. Februar 2017 To Valerie. Acknowledgments I thank Colin Atkinson for the supervision and the support he provided during the last six exciting years. We had a lot of open minded and fruitful discussi- ons and he gave invaluable guidance and feedback on this dissertation and the Melanee tool. I also thank Juan de Lara, my second supervisor, for his input to this dis- sertation and the joint research. Especially, I want to thank him for hosting one of my students at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the support he gave to this student during his master thesis. I thank all the students who contributed towards the success of this dis- sertation in the form of seminars and bachelor/master theses and as student assistants. Especially, I want to thank Nicole Wesemeyer, Katharina Markert, Daniel Gritzner and Dominik Kantner for their outstanding contributions to the Melanee tool. I thank Bastian Kennel, for supervising my diploma (cf. master) thesis on the topic of deep modeling. This built the foundation for all following research leading to the Melanee tool as it is today and the approach described in the dissertation. I thank Mathias Fritzsche for the opportunity to join him for an internship at SAP Research in Belfast where I had my first taste of research, model-driven development and Eclipse Plug-in development.
