Generating Version Convertors for Domain-Specific Languages

Preprint of paper published in: WCRE 2008 - 15th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering, 15-18 October 2008; doi:10.1109/WCRE.2008.50 Domain-specific languages (DSLs) improve programmer productivity by providing high-level abstractions for the development of applications in a particular domain. However, the smaller distance to the application...

An extensive catalog of operators for the coupled evolution of metamodels and models

Modeling languages and thus their metamodels are subject to change. When a metamodel is evolved, existing models may no longer conform to it. Manual migration of these models in response to metamodel evolution is tedious and error-prone. To significantly automate model migration, operator-based approaches provide reusable coupled operators that...

Software Language Evolution

Software plays a critical role in our daily life. Vast amounts of money are spent on more and more complex systems. All software, regardless if it controls a plane or the game on your phone is never finished. Software changes when it contains bugs or when new functionality is added. This process of change is called software eovlution. Despite...
