Automated Transformation of Statements within Evolving Domain Specific Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the biggest challenges in Domain Specific Modeling is handling the inevitable changes to Domain Specific Language grammars (meta models) as they evolve over time. This paper starts by providing an overview of our use case a high volume Software Product Line using a databased concrete syntax for storing large numbers of statements in a collection of external Domain Specific Languages. It then outlines research in related fields from API versioning to database migrations that could be applied to the problem of automating the transformation of statements between versions of a Domain Specific Language. It then presents an initial partial catalog of potential transformations that could be used to automate the process of transforming DSL statements at a tooling level, making it much easier for modelers to support evolutions in their DSL grammars.

Toward Denotational Semantics of Domain-Specific Modeling Languages for Automated Code Generation
One goal of model-driven development (MDD) is automated code generation, which is ultimately a type of model transformation. Current approaches to such transformations are often rule-based, implying a focus on operational semantics. We explore an approach based on denotational semantics in this paper. First, we construct a denotational semantics for elements of a modeling language based on the ...
متن کاملTowards automated model driven development with model transformation and domain specific languages
Modeling plays a very important role in dealing with the complexity of software systems during their development and maintenance processes. As more complex models need to be developed, the importance of transformations between models grows. Model transformations allow the definition and implementation of operations on models, also provide a chain that can enable the automated development of a s...
متن کاملSystematic Usage of Embedded Modelling Languages in Automated Model Transformation Chains
Annotation of programs using embedded Domain-Specific Languages (embedded DSLs), such as the program annotation facility for the Java programming language, is a well-known practice in computer science. In this paper we argue for and propose a specialized approach for the usage of embedded Domain-Specific Modelling Languages (embedded DSMLs) in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) processes that in pa...
متن کاملAgile Bottom-Up Development of Domain-Specific IDEs for Model-Driven Development
Diminishing time-to-market and rapidly evolving technology stacks stretch traditional software development methods to their limits. In this paper, we propose a novel process for bottom-up development of domain-specific IDEs based on agile principles. It aims to enable a fine-grained co-evolution of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) and their model editors and code generators. We illust...
متن کاملImplementing a MOF-Based Metamodeling Environment Using Graph Transformations
Versatile model-based design demands languages and tools which are suitable for the creation, manipulation, transformation, and composition of domain-specific modeling languages and domain models. The Meta Object Facility (MOF) forms the cornerstone of the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) as the standard metamodeling language for the specification of domain-specific languages. We have impl...
