Towards a megamodel for programming and language technologies

Summary We have started a major effort on megamodeling programmig and language technologies. At GPCE 2010 and SLE 2010, we have revealed this effort. Contributions are more than welcome. Our next milestone is an actual megamodel that covers the software corpus "101companies". Links The GPCE/SLE megamodeling tutorial: description [ .pdf ]; slides [ .pdf ]. The GPCE 2010 keynote: website: [ .html ]; slides: [ .pdf ]. The 101company website at SourceForge developers: [ .html ]. Acknowledgements All of this is joint work with Jean-Marie Favre and Dragan Gasevic. Thomas Schmorleiz is the incredible developer who helps on 101companies.
