The Business Informatics Group together with the Faculty of Informatics invites to a talk of Dr. Markus Völter, Independent consultant for language engineering

Abstract

Jetbrains MPS is an open source language workbench that supports the development

and use of domain-specific languages. What separates MPS from other language development

tools is its support for multiple different notational styles (text, tables, math, diagrams)

and its support for modular language composition. MPS is used in domains such as finance,

healthcare, automotive and aerospace to develop real-world DSLs. This lecture is an introduction

to MPS based on a concrete example DSL. I will demonstrate aspects of the development of two

cooperating languages, a generator to Java, and interpreter directly in the IDE, language

composition by embedding a functional programming language as well as tabular and graphical notations.

The example code is available on github so participants can continue to explore MPS after the lecture:
