Research Internship II: Inferring metamodels from sketch-based example models: A literature review

In my research internship, I analyze existing solutions for the automated generation of metamodels from a set of example models. Typically, these example models are sketched in general-purpose drawing tools such as yEd. The aim is to uncover areas where current solutions lack support and further research is needed.

Master thesis: An Integrated Approach Towards Example-based Domain-Specific Language Design with Focus on Agility

In my master's thesis, I investigate how the remaining issues of current sketch-based DSML creation approaches as identified in the previous internship can be solved. Starting from the observation that most approaches are limited by the strict separation of the involved phases, a design is proposed that integrates all activities in a single metamodeling environment. The focus lies on increasing the agility as well as on the co-evolution problem between instance models and language description.
