“…LDE aims at allowing the different stakeholders to formulate their intents in they way they are used to, i.e., in their domain language, and restricted in a fashion that the efforts of the other involved stakeholders are maintained, or as we say, constitute Archimedean points [32] of the considered domain-specific language. Currently, we are starting to explore the impact of the Pyro technology on a larger scale for DIME [7], our framework for developing Web applications.…”

We present Pyro, a framework for enabling domain-specific modeling via the internet. Provided with an adequate metamodel specification, Pyro turns your browser into a collaborative, domain-specific, graphical development environment with features reminiscent of desktop IDEs for textual programming languages. The required metamodeling is supported in a high-level, simplicity-driven fashion, and the entire ready-to-run browser-based domain-specific development environment is generated fully automatically. We will illustrate the steps of this development along the realization of a graphical IDE for the Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL).

“…Using DIME [35,36] as a low-code development environment for the XMDD paradigm, we have a ready graphical modeling tool for the entire architecture, including the data model, control flow and data flow, GUI (interface model) and security/roles and rights model. These models are easier to understand than code, thus supporting the interaction and co-design between IT professionals, domain experts, business experts, and users better than at the code level or the traditional (more technical) modelling level as in a typical UML [37] approach.…”

Collaborative E-learning is highly dependent on the well functioning of a complex sociotechnical system that comprises information technology and various social processes. Large scale infrastructures like the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) provide access to research and educational resources and provide collaboration between educational and research organizations, thus providing a set of essential services for e-learning. Currently, the lack of data integration between e-learning systems is still a problem in NREN domains, and a hurdle to collaborative e-learning. We address systematic cross-organizational collaboration and data integration between large-scale e-learning systems by designing an architecture for NREN e-learning systems to support open access education and learning. In particular, we design and provide a reference implementation for an e-learning broker that can provide the needed data integration and processes, and takes into consideration the strategies and policies for open access in education and training. We develop the architecture and reference implementation applying the eXtreme Model-Driven Development (XMDD) paradigm for software design and development, using the DIME low-code development environment for modelling data, processes, and user interface. We consider here two specific application settings: The national network of e-learning collaboration in AfgREN, centered on the Kabul University in Afghanistan, and the newly started collaboration between the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) and Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) in Ireland, that are forming a new consortium under the newly introduced Technological University structure.

“…Such process descriptions are comparable to languages like BPMN [86] and UML's activity diagrams [85], but additionally provide full code generation. We use here a specialized variant of the process language from the DIME framework [22] which provides fully model-based development of all aspects of a multi-user single-page web application 9 . As the DIME processes are the technological successors of the Service Logic Graphs (SLGs) of the jABC framework [84,100], they comprise building blocks for the inclusion of executable services, and these building blocks are connected according to their flow of control.…”

“…For instance, Fig. 4 illustrates how DIME [22,23], our mIDE for graphical modeling of Web applications, uses in each model type dedicated model elements that represent entities (in this case the thread entity) of other (horizontal) same-level models, this way guaranteeing the type-correct relation between models of the different languages.…”

In this paper, we present the paradigm of Language-Driven Engineering (LDE), which is characterized by its unique support for division of labour on the basis of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) targeting different stakeholders. LDE allows the involved stakeholders, including the application experts, to participate in the system development and evolution process using dedicated DSLs, while at the same time establishing new levels of reuse that are enabled by powerful model transformations and code generation. Technically, the interplay between the involved DSLs is realized in a service-oriented fashion. This eases a product line approach and system evolution by allowing to introduce and exchange entire DSLs within corresponding Mindset-Supporting Integrated Development Environments (mIDEs). The impact of this approach is illustrated along the development and evolution of a profilebased email distribution system. Here we do not want to emphasize the precise choice of DSLs, but rather the flexible DSL-based modularization of the development process, which allows one to freely introduce and exchange DSLs as needed to optimally capture the mindsets of the involved stakeholders.
