Workshop

Today, domain-specific visual languages provide a viable solution to raise the level of abstraction beyond coding. Industrial experience has shown productivity improvements of 5-10 times. We believe that it is time to start talking about Domain-Specific Modeling as the new paradigm for developing applications and product families for a given domain/platform.

In domain-specific modeling the models are constructed using concepts that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive themselves as working directly with domain concepts. Together with generators and components DSM can automate a large portion of software production.

Workshop topics:

Industry/academic experience reports

• Approaches to identify constructs for DSMs
• Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models
• Issues of support/maintenance for systems built with DSMs
• Evolution of languages in accordance with domain
• Metamodeling frameworks and languages
• Tools for supporting DSMs
