Today, language-oriented programming (LOP) is realized by using either language workbenches or internal DSLs, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. In this work, we design a host language with language workbench features, thereby combining the two approaches and enjoying the best of both worlds.
In this document we present Digital campus which is an interactive social
world browser with a handheld augmented reality interface. This system makes use of the idea of ubiquitous computing and the android phone's sensors including the GPS for location based tracking.
Serving as the schema of models, a metamodel defines the abstract syntax of models and the interrelationships between model elements. Model instances are often inaccessible due to metamodel evolution or the metamodel becoming lost. This poster describes our research recovering a metamodel from model instances to support metamodel driven evolution.
Scaling up models is traditionally supported by manual editing or writing model transformation code. However, this process presents challenges to those who are unfamiliar with programming or metamodel definitions. This poster describes an approach to scale models by recording and analyzing demonstrated operations by end-users.
Configuration files are commonly used to create applications by gluing together new or existing components. However, components may be missing, misconfigured, or connected improperly, resulting in exceptions and unusual runtime behavior. This research contributes a mechanism to statically verify configuration files alongside the component code.
Most object graphs are not designed human interaction. Our contribution is an interactive editor to refine an object graph from an architecture extraction software, since the initial extraction might not match the architects intention. This will help maximize the potential of architecture extraction as a tool to help architects.
This poster presents a new approach through which programmers can access the parallel programming languages without having to focus on the technical or language-specific details. An earlier approach of Abstract Application Programming Interface (API) targeted for GPU programming is extended to shared
memory using OpenMP.
Robert Johnson discusses Facebook’s approach to scalability issues resulting from a large growth of the user base. He talks about: why one needs to prepare for horizontal and not vertical scalability, very short release cycles which are better because they introduce fewer bugs, the need to streamline to deploying process for short release cycles, and making the entire process faster every day.
