• 4th International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE@MODELS'18)

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Software Analysis and Transformation group (SWAT) led by Jurgen Vinju at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). Previously, I obtained a PhD degree from the University of Rennes 1 & Inria in the DiverSE research team of IRISA with Olivier Barais and Arnaud Blouin. In another life, I killed mutants in the AeLoS research team of the LINA with Jean-Marie Mottu and Gerson Sunyé.

I am interested in all aspects of software language engineering. More specifically, I am looking for ways to improve domain-specific language composition, reuse, and interoperability. Some of the topics that occupy my mind right now are language families, interfaces, and metamorphism.

My main research interests include:

• Software language engineering
• Domain-specific languages
• Model-driven engineering
• and software engineering as a whole!

• Melange: a language workbench that provides a modular approach for reusing, customizing, and composing multiple DSLs specifications and implementations. Melange relies on aspect-oriented and executable metamodeling, model typing and a dedicated algebra for language composition and customization.
• Eclipse GEMOC Studio: a framework for designing and integrating EMF-based modeling languages. The framework provides a generic interface to plug in different execution engines associated to their specific metalanguages used to define the discrete-event operational semantics, and the behavioral coordination, of DSLs. It also integrates generic runtime services that are shared among the approaches used to implement the execution semantics, such as graphical animation or omniscient debugging.
• K3 : an action language built on top of the Xtend programming language that supports the modular implementation of an operational semantics (both computation steps and runtime concepts) and its weaving into an Ecore metamodel.
• KCVL: an implementation of the OMG Common Variability Language integrated with the Eclipse modeling ecosystem.
