Open Thesis, Seminar and Project Topics

Based on my research interest, I provide a wide variety of thesis topics. In particular:

• Clustering and analyzing user behavior models
  • Measuring distance of graphs based on structure and attributes to cluster and classify user behavior

  • Detection when a new behavior starts or other means of grouping behavior

• OceanDSL
  • Handling compilation, setup and deployment of ocean models
  • Integrate model setup and control in Jupyter (web service)
  • Extend Jupyter using Language Server Protocol (LSP)
  • Understand dependencies and dependency management in Jupyter

PhD Topic

My dissertation provides methods, techniques and approaches to modularize code and model generators for domain-specific languages (DSLs) including and specifically addressing view-based and aspect-oriented DSL and metamodels. The tooling developed in this dissertation makes use of EMF, Xtext, and other Eclipse technology, but addresses any kind of target language for these DSLs.

Resources:

• Thesis
• Architecture and model evaluation tools
• Code generator composition language prototype
• How to integrate typing into XText (Example)
• Detect metamodel partitions

Past Activites

• Future Ocean Coordinator
• GECO and GECO evaluation scenarios
• MENGES DSLs for electronic control centers
