Simon Van Laerhoven - Instance-based automatic language generation 

  Abstract

Model-driven engineering aims to improve the efficiency of the software development process. Domain-specific modelling languages (DSMLs) are used to develop models and are specified through meta-models. Domain experts, who have the knowledge about the domain usually don't have the skills needed to develop a correct meta-model, while software engineers, who do have the needed skills, don't have enough knowledge about the specific domain. This makes close interaction between software engineers and domain experts necessary which slows the development process. This is where the need for instance based meta-model generation rises. In this paper we propose a way to create sample models using a generic meta-model in AToMPM. With model transformations these samples will be used to automatically generate a meta-model to which all the samples conform.
