Incremental Updates for Textual Modelling of Large Scale Models

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) aims at improving the development of complex computer systems. Within this context textual concrete syntaxes for models are beneficial for many reasons. They foster usability and productivity because of their fast editing style, their usage of error markers, autocompletion and quick fixes. Several frameworks and tools from different communities for creating concrete textual syntaxes for models emerged during recent years. However, open issues are incremental parsing and model updating as well as the handling and synchronisation of partial and federated views with the underlying model. In this paper we present an approach for concrete textual syntaxes that makes use of incremental parsing and transformation techniques.
