Re-implementing Apache Thrift using model-driven engineering technologies:An experience report

In this paper we investigate how contemporary model-driven engineering technologies such as Xtext, EMF and Epsilon compare against mainstream techniques and tools (C++, flex and Bison) for the development of a complex textual modelling language and family of supporting code generators (Apache Thrift...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper we investigate how contemporary model-driven engineering technologies such as Xtext, EMF and Epsilon compare against mainstream techniques and tools (C++, flex and Bison) for the development of a complex textual modelling language and family of supporting code generators (Apache Thrift). Our preliminary results indicate that the MDE-based implementation delivers significant benefits in term of conciseness, coupling and cohesion.
