Abstract: Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) languages provide a viable solution for
improving development productivity by raising the level of abstraction
beyond coding. With DSM, the models are made up of elements representing
concepts that are part of the domain world, not the code world (like e.g.
in UML). These languages follow domain abstractions and semantics,
allowing developers to perceive themselves as working directly with domain
concepts. In many cases, full final product code can be automatically
generated from these high-level specifications with domain-specific code
generators. This talk introduces DSM and shows a series of real-life
examples from various fields of software product development - ranging
from embedded cell phone software to B2B J2EE web sites. Second part of
the talk addresses the principles for implementing DSM: how to identify
the necessary language constructs, and different ways of building code
generation.
