Domain Globalization: Using Languages to Support Technical and Social Coordination

Abstract

International audienceWhen a project is realized in a globalized environment, multiple stakeholders from different organizations work on the same system. Depending on the stakeholders and their organizations, various (possibly overlapping) concerns are raised in the development of the system. In this context a Domain Specific Language (DSL) supports the work of a group of stakeholders who are responsible for addressing a specific set of concerns. This chapter identifies the open challenges arising from the coordination of globalized domain-specific languages. We identify two types of coordination: technical coordination and social coordination. After presenting an overview of the current state of the art, we discuss first the open challenges arising from the composition of multiple DSLs, and then the open challenges associated to the collaboration in a globalized environment

Coordination between Heterogeneous Models Using a Meta-model Composition Approach

“…It is done posteriori to get global analysis or global simulation of a system [32]. For same purposes, many interesting works [33,6,7] invoked instead globalization concept. This term is used as analogy with world globalization relationships between countries to regulate interchange, interaction and communication [6].…”

“…Many leads had been explored by current researches to resolve this issue [2,3,4,5]. Specifically, this work fits in researches operating at meta-level [6,7,8,9]. Actually, we choose to coordinate DSMLs used to elaborate heterogeneous models rather than coordinating models themselves.…”

Beyond Time-Triggered Co-simulation of Cyber-Physical Systems for Performance and Accuracy Improvements

“…The development of such coordinator usually relies on the graph representing the sharing of data between the different models [2,4,5,24]. It also depends on the nature of the interaction between the different models [10].…”
