Software and Systems Modeling theme issue on

DOMAIN-SPECIFIC MODELING IN THEORY AND APPLICATION
http://www.dsmforum.org/events/SoSymDSM11/

 

Domain-specific modeling (DSM) provides a modern solution to demands for
higher productivity by constricting the gap between problem and solution
modeling. In the past, productivity gains have been sought from new
programming languages. Today, domain-specific modeling languages provide
a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction
beyond coding, making development faster and easier.

 

In DSM 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. The models represent simultaneously the design,
implementation and documentation of the system (which can be generated
directly from the models). In a number of cases the final products can
be automatically generated from these high-level specifications with
domain-specific code generators. This automation is possible because of
domain-specificity: both the modeling language and code generators fit
to the requirements of a narrowly defined domain.

 

The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM,
http://www.sosym.org/) invites original, high-quality submissions for
its theme issue on "Domain-Specific Modeling" that is focused on topics
related to DSM, including:

- Software development processes with DSM

- Experience reports describing success/failure in implementing and
using domain-specific languages/tools

- Approaches to define DSM languages

- State of the art descriptions of tools for DSM

- Metrics for productivity using DSM techniques

- Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models

- Issues of support/maintenance for systems built with DSMs

- Testing, system confidence, test case generation, validation and
verification within the DSM context

- Impact of DSM on software architecture

- Evolution of languages in accordance with domain

- Metamodeling frameworks and languages
