Juha-Pekka on DSMDomain-Specific Modeling: Making Models WorkDSM and Software Product Lines - a marriage made in heaven A panel at Code Generation 2008- May 23, 2008 I didn’t plan to continue writing blog part 3 on capturing variability with DSM, but Mark Dalgarno invited me to the panel at Code Generation 2008 on Model-Driven Development and Software Product Lines. Other panelists include Danilo Beuche and Markus Völter. I know, or at least have a good hunch, that they agree on what I wrote in the previous posts (1, 2). If I’m wrong, they now see places to attack ;-) Seriously, I’m expecting that we go into further details and...http://www.metacase.com/blogs/jpt/blogView?showComments=true&entry=3388993507 Capturing variability with domain-specific modeling languages (Part 2)- May 21, 2008 When defining a domain-specific language, or perhaps better to say here, a product line specific language, it is usually the best to start with by analyzing commonality and variability. If some parameter tables or feature models are already available they can naturally be used as a starting point. When looking the feature models, individual features usually map to objects of a modeling language and leafs of the feature tree are likely properties of the modeling constructs. Consider the..http://www.metacase.com/blogs/jpt/blogView?showComments=true&entry=3388831430 Capturing variability with domain-specific modeling languages (Part 1)- May 15, 2008 One typical place to apply domain-specific languages is to express variability: When developing multiple similar products you have a language that describes what is different among family members. In this post, and in coming parts, I discuss how modeling languages can be defined for product lines. For the start I use Krzysztof Czarnecki's classification as he nicely illustrates the range of variation and different ways to handle them (see figure below). Wizards recognize the...http://www.metacase.com/blogs/jpt/blogView?showComments=true&entry=3388313102 The 8th workshop on DSM OOPSLA, 19-20 Oct- May 14, 2008 The 8th workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling is organized this year in Nashville as a part of OOPSLA. We run again two days and look for submissions on experiences, ideas and demonstrations. Two days give us a great possibility to go into details on creating and using domain-specific languages and code generators in various domains. Call for papers and participation is available.
