2. The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 2 Objectives Intensive collaborative sessions Attempt to discuss, share and solve challenging problems facing DSM Have something to report to OOPSLA community Have fun!

3. The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 3 About past workshops BOF at OOPSLA’00 DSVL workshops at OOPSLA’01 & ’02 DSM workshop at OOPSLA’03 Special issue “Domain-Specific Modeling with Visual Languages” – Journal of Visual Languages and Computing, Vol. 15., 3-4, June-August, 2004

4. The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 4 Domain Idea Finished Product Solve problem in domain terms Assembler Map to code, implement UML Model Map to UML Generate, Add bodies Components Domain Model Generate calls to components No map! Code Map to code, implement Modeling domain vs. modeling code

5. The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 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

6. The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 6 Domain Idea Finished Product Components Domain Model Generate calls to components Easy! Expert (few) Normal (many ) Done a few times before! Code generation Domain metamodel Component library How to implement DSM
