In Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development (2017), doi:10.1186/s40411-017-0035-z, published online 19 April 2017. This work reports on a survey of 139 professional software developers on topics of multi-language software development and cross-language linking. Participants report that multi-language programming is common in their experience, but leads to multiple problems. 2016-12: Philip Mayer: A Taxonomy of Cross-Language Linking Mechanisms in Open Source Frameworks. . In Computing (2016), doi:10.1007/s00607-016-0528-3, published online 20 December 2016. This work provides a taxonomy, that is a systematization of the different ways created for developers for specifying cross-language links. The systematization is based on a thorough and systematic investigation of 22 well-known open source frameworks across different languages. 2015-04: Philip Mayer and Alexander Bauer: An Empirical Analysis of the Utilization of Multiple Programming Languages in Open Source Projects . In Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE), pages 1-10, Nanjing, China. April 27-29, 2015. This work examines OSS projects selected for diversity to investigate the phenomenon of multi-language programming. This includes general statistics; a regression analysis of project properties; and a graph of language associations for well-known languages. 2014 – 07: Philip Mayer and Andreas Schroeder. Automated Multi-Language Artifact Binding and Rename Refactoring between Java and DSLs used by Java Frameworks . In Proceedings of the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP), July 28-August 1, 2014, Uppsala, Sweden. R. Jones (Ed.): ECOOP 2014, LNCS 8586, pp. 437–462. Springer, Heidelberg (2014) A thorough evaluation of our system for cross-language linking between six Java-framework based languages over seven open source case studies (follow-up to the WRT publication listed below).
The artifact for this paper (which consists of the Eclipse plugins which realize the described functionality) has received the “Distinguished Artifact Award” of ECOOP 2014. A preliminary look at an infrastructure for cross-language links between six Java-framework-based languages (evaluated in the ECOOP paper above). 2013-05: Philip Mayer and Andreas Schroeder: Patterns of Cross-Language Links in Java Frameworks . In 21st IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC), May 20-21 2013, pg. 113-122, San Francisco, USA.
Here, we look at common patterns of linking in three industrial Java frameworks which use DSLs and cross-language linking, and the language primitives which would be required to create a linking language.

In 12th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM), pg. 94-103, September 23-24 2012 – Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy. This paper discusses an approach for using QVT/R for linking artifacts between different language meta-models. We are situated at LMU University in Munich, Germany.
