Software Language Engineering

With the growing interest in MDE, more and more models are used during a software development to capture various aspects (both functional and extra-functional). Therefore, explicitly identifying and analyzing these relationships becomes a real challenge during a model-based software development. To address this challenge, we proposed a formal language that captures relations between modeled things in order to reason and communicate about modeling activities [19] .

More recently, we started to explore the necessary breakthrough in software languages to support a global software engineering. Consequently, we investigate MDE-based tools and methods in software language engineering (SLE) for the design and implementation of collaborative, interoperable and composable modeling languages [32] , [31] , [30] .
