Abstract:Domain specific languages play an important role in model driven development, as they allow to model a system using modeling constructs carrying implicit semantics specific to a domain. Consequently, possibly many reusable, domain specific languages will emerge. Thereby, certain application areas, such as business process engineering, can be jointly covered by a number of conceptually related DSLs, that are similar in a sense of sharing semantically equal concepts. Although, a crucial role in being able to use, manage and integrate all these DSLs comes to model transformation languages with QVT as one of their most prominent representatives, existing approaches have not aimed at reaping benefit of these semantically overlapping DSLs in terms of providing abstraction mechanisms for shared concepts. Therefore, as opposed to a generalpurpose model transformation language sought after with the QVT-RFP, this work discusses the possibility of employing domain-specific model transformation languages. These are specifically tailored for defining transformations between metamodels sharing certain characteristics. In this context, the paper introduces a basic framework which allows generating the necessary tools to define and execute transformations written in such a domain-specific transformation language. To illustrate the approach, an example language will be introduced and its realization within the framework is shown.

“…These approaches aim to discover both commonalities and variations within a program family to fuel the design process of a DSL. A step toward a methodology for DSL development has been presented by Consel and Marlet [14]. Recently, this approach has been revisited to structure the development of DSLs on the notion of program family [15].…”

Abstract. The domain of services for mobile communication terminals has long become a fast-moving target. Indeed, this domain has been affected by a continuous stream of technological advances on aspects ranging from physical infrastructures to mobile terminals. As a result, services for this domain are known to be very unpredictable and volatile. This situation is even worse when considering services relying heavily on multimedia activities (e.g., games, audio and/or video messages, etc.). Such an application area is very sensitive to a large variety of aspects such as terminal capabilities (graphics, CPU, etc.), bandwidth, service provider's billing policies, QoS, and user expectations. To address these issues, we present a paradigm based on domain-specific languages (DSLs) that enables networking and telecommunication experts to quickly develop robust communication services. Importantly, we propose implementation strategies to enable this paradigm to be supported by existing software infrastructures. Our DSL paradigm is uniformly used to develop a platform for communication services, named Nova. This platform addresses various domains of services including telephony services, e-mail processing, remotedocument processing, stream processing, and HTTP resource adaption.

“…Although the adaptation policies are currently coded in plain Java, our goal is to define a DSL (Domain Specific Language [13]) to write these. This would enable verifications on the validity of the policies (to be defined more precisely) and to detect possible conflicts between policies, for example when two policies react differently to the same situation, or when their interaction would create unstable behaviors.…”

Abstract. Nowadays, applications must work in highly dynamic environments, where resources availability, among other factors, can evolve at runtime. To deal with this situation, applications must be self-adaptive, that is adapt themselves to their environment and its evolutions. Our goal is to enable systematic development of self-adaptive componentbased applications using the Separation of Concerns principle: we consider adaptation to a specific execution context and its evolutions as a concern which should be treated separately from the rest of an application. In this paper, we first present the general approach we propose and the corresponding development framework and tools we are developing to support it. Then, in order to validate this approach, we use it on a small component-based application to show how it can be made self-adaptive.
