Ontology-based development of families of domain-specific languages for the design of production systems and their control systems

PhD Supervisor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Arndt Lüder

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) enable the precise modeling of complex cyber-physical systems and facilitate communication across diverse fields and disciplines. However, the lack of a standardized foundation in their specification often leads to proprietary solutions that limit interoperability, hinder development, and reduce user acceptance. To address this issue, the dissertation develops a method for standardized language specification of DSLs. Ontologies, formally defined metamodels, and adaptable syntax models are created and formalized to ensure technical precision, user-friendliness, and higher acceptance. The goal is to establish a formal foundation for the cross-domain development of DSLs that is standardized, flexible, and applicable across various industries.
