The 5th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’05) 5 Captures domain knowledge (as opposed to code) – Uses domain abstractions – Applies domain concepts and rules as modeling constructs – Narrow down the design space – Focus on single range of products Lets developers design products using domain terms  Apply familiar terminology  Solve the RIGHT problems!  Solve problems only ONCE! What is Domain-Specific Modeling
