“…Table I gives the aggregated numbers of papers considered in the initial and second rounds. We did not analyse further the 10 papers from category (iii) that are focussed on cataloguing patterns ( [24], [49], [102], [132], [110], [141], [142], [143], [145], [147]). These are considered separately in Table XVI.…”

“…Similarly to our work, the MetaBorg approach defines new concepts (comparable to our notion of an abstract language) by mapping them to expansions in the host language (comparable to our notion of a concrete language). Johannes shows how to develop DSLs as abstractions of other DSLs by transferring translational approaches for textual DSLs into the domain of modelling languages (Johannes J. et. al., 2009).…”

Model Driven Engineering proposes a software development process in which the key notions are models that allow engineers to precisely capture relevant aspects of a system from a given perspective and at an appropriate level of abstraction. Then, models are manipulated with the goal of enabling the automated development of a system from its corresponding models. Unlike general-purpose modeling languages, domain-specific modeling languages can simplify the development of complex software systems by providing domain-specific abstractions for modeling the system and its transformations in a precise but simple and concise way. In this work we elaborate on the notion of domain specific model manipulation language, that is to say a model manipulation language tailored to a specific domain. In contrast to wellknown model manipulation languages, such as EOL or ATL, the language syntax and semantics are directly related to a specific domain and/or kind of manipulation, making manipulation easier to write and understand. We present an implementation approach achieving complete platform-independence. We illustrate the proposal through a practical example.

“…A number of frameworks to support such language development have been proposed-for example, [7,11,23,28,30,33,12,38,39,42,47]. We have previously proposed an approach for simplifying the development of the model transformations involved in defining such DSLs [26].…”

Abstract. Domain-specific languages are constructed to provide modelling capabilities tailored to a specific domain. Sometimes, languages are developed many times, typically to support application in a new context. In doing so, recurring patterns and commonalities as well as variations across the evolving set of languages can be identified. This paper introduces the concept of a domain-specific metamodelling language, which codifies such commonalities and provides concepts and logic for expressing the variations. The challenges and difficulties of using domain-specific metamodelling languages are identified. We illustrate the concept with examples from different domains.
