“…Compared to Java, Kermeta provides modeloriented and aspect-oriented capabilities: OCL-like lexical closures, native support of open-classes, model typing feature, and the ability to load and save EMF models. EMFScript [28] and Epsilon [13] share some common features with Kermeta such as OCL-like lexical closures and imperative style of programming for manipulating models. Kermeta as a model-transformation engine raises also several drawbacks.…”

Abstract. Kermeta is a meta-language for specifying the structure and behavior of graphs of interconnected objects called models. In this paper, we show that Kermeta is relatively suitable for solving three graph-based problems. First, Kermeta allows the specification of generic model transformations such as refactorings that we apply to different metamodels including Ecore, Java, and Uml. Second, we demonstrate the extensibility of Kermeta to the formal language Alloy using an inter-language model transformation. Kermeta uses Alloy to generate recommendations for completing partially specified models. Third, we show that the Kermeta compiler achieves better execution time and memory performance compared to similar graph-based approaches using a common case study. The three solutions proposed for those graph-based problems and their evaluation with Kermeta according to the criteria of genericity, extensibility, and performance are the main contribution of the paper. Another contribution is the comparison of these solutions with those proposed by other graph-based tools.

“…For example, while nowadays comprehensive BNF-based interpreted language specifications would drive the development of comprehensive DSL environments, it is hard to drive the development of alternate environments such as interactive computer programming environments. They are interactive environments that help to document (e.g., Jupyter 1 [14]), to evaluate APIs ( [13,17]), to teach [2,6,7], to share knowledge (e.g., in science [9,11]), or for arts [15]. In practice, most of today's DSL specifications have a single execution entry-point responsible for executing the whole program.…”

The adoption of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) relies on the capacity of language workbenches to automate the development of advanced and customized environments. While DSLs are usually well tailored for the main scenarios, the cost of developing mature tools prevents the ability to develop additional capabilities for alternative scenarios targeting specific tasks (e.g., API testing) or stakeholders (e.g., education). In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically generate interactive computer programming environments from existing specifications of textual interpreted DSLs. The approach provides abstractions to complement the DSL specification, and combines static analysis and language transformations to automate the transformation of the language syntax, the execution state and the execution semantics. We evaluate the approach over a representative set of DSLs, and demonstrate the ability to automatically transform a textual syntax to load partial programs limited to a single statement, and to derive a Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) from the specification of a language interpreter.

International audienceBuilding autonomic applications, which are systems that must adapt to their execution context, requires architects to calibrate and validate the adaptation rules by executing their applications in a realistic execution context. Unfortunately, existing works do not allow architects to monitor and visualize the impact of their rules, nor that they let them adjust these rules easily. This paper presents a model-based framework that enables architects to design and debug autonomic systems in an iterative and uniformed process. At design-time, architects can specify, using models, the application's structure and properties, as well as the desired adaptation rules. At debugging-time, the running application and the models coexist such that the models control the application dynamic adaptation, thanks to a control loop that reified runtime events. Each triggered adaptation is first tested at the model level to check that no application property is broken. Furthermore, architects can at any time modify the models in order to adjust the adaptation rules or even parts of the application. All changes at the model level, if checked correct, are directly propagated to the running application. Our solution is generic regarding the underlying platforms and we provide a performance evaluation of our framework implementation
