“…MOSKitt4ME differs from traditional ME in that it is lightweight: MOSKitt4ME is built upon reusability principles and it is also model-driven, which enables a high level of automation. In our previous work [15,16], we illustrated how MOSKitt4ME makes intensive use of reusable assets and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) to support three phases of the ME lifecycle: the initial design of the method, its implementation, and the final method execution. In this paper, we present an evaluation study that focuses on the complexity of MOSKitt4ME.…”

The Method Engineering (ME) discipline emerged as a response to the need for methods and tools that are better adapted to context. Despite the potential benefits of ME and the emergence of Computer-Aided Method Engineering technology, there are hardly any reports on the practical application of ME available in the literature. Some authors argue that this is because practitioners often fail to see the usefulness of ME due to its high complexity. With the aim of facilitating the application of ME, we developed MOSKitt4ME, a lightweight approach that makes intensive use of reusable assets and Model-Driven Engineering techniques. In previous work, we illustrated how MOSKitt4ME supports three phases of the ME lifecycle: design, implementation, and execution. In this paper, we evaluate the complexity of MOSKitt4ME. Specifically, we present a study that is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Think Aloud method. The TAM allowed us to measure usefulness and ease of use in a subjective manner; the Think Aloud method allowed us to analyze these measures objectively. Overall, the results were favorable. MOSKitt4ME was highly rated in perceived usefulness and ease of use; we also obtained positive results with respect to the users' actual performance and the difficulty experienced.

“…[86], and the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) [49,87]. In subsection 2.1.4.1, we describe the operational aspects of BPMN 2.0 since this standard is the language that is used in this thesis to overcome the lack of executability of SPEM 2.0 [88,89]. An extensive review of process modeling languages can be found in [90].…”

“…Although we used several tools like textual editors and frameworks for DSL development, we do not have a single tool to manage all the steps and artefacts from the method and guide its application. In order to implement this tool support, as future work we will analyze the possibility to apply the proposal of Cervera et al [105]. This work allows software developers to create a support environment for their method, which integrates under a single environment all the software tools that are used in the method steps and includes the method steps to guide the developers through the development.…”

An agile model-driven method for involving end-users in DSL developmentUn método ágil dirigido por modelos para involucrar a los usuarios finales en el desarrollo de DSLs Un mètode àgil dirigit por models per a involucrar als usuaris finals en el desenvolupament de DSLs AgradecimientosEn este pequeño trocito de tesis me gustaría dar gracias a todas aquellas personas que han contribuido de algún modo en la realización de esta tesis.En primer lugar, quiero dar la gracias a mis directores de tesis. A Oscar, por creer en mi desde el primer día (aunque al principio solo fuera por mi casa de la nieve en Rubielos), por darme libertad para llevar a cabo esta tesis y sobre todo por apoyarme hasta el final. A Paco, por guiarme durante todo el proceso, por su apoyo y ánimo constante, por sus acertadas críticas, por leer esta tesis varias veces y sobre todo por su ayuda incondicional durante estos 5 años.También quiero dar las gracias a mi familia y amigos por cuidarme y apoyarme, ya sea viniendo a comer conmigo a la Universidad, insistiéndome cada cinco minutos en que acabara la tesis, preguntándome como estaba, haciéndome croquetas, arreglándome los desastres de mi casa, despidiendo positivismo en todo momento o estando ahí aunque solo nos hayamos podido ver una vez al mes o al año.Por otro lado, quiero dar las gracias a todos los compañeros del Pros que también me han ayudado. A Marce, por ser mi compañera de viaje, por salir conmigo a todo tipo de ferias, y por escuchar todos mis rollos durante nuestras salidas cenicientiles acompañadas de vino de la casa. A mis compañeros del genoma, por su forma de ver la vida, que me ha ayudado a reflexionar y a salir de mi zona de confort, y en especial a Ana Levin, por su ayuda durante los primeros años. A Sergio y a Ignacio, por sus sabios consejos que me han ayudado a mejorar muchos aspectos de esta tesis. A Cristian y a Carlos, por aportar su granito de arena en la implementación de esta tesis. A Ana Cidad por ayudarme con la burrocracia a la que me he tenido que enfrentar. Y en general, a todas aquellas personas que han aguantado mis cambios de humor y aun así han tenido siempre buenas palabras hacia mí.Tampoco puedo dejar de agradecer a todas aquellas personas de Imegen, GEM Biosoft, e INCLIVA por su colaboración en toda la parte genómica de esta tesis. En especial, me gustaría agradecer a Pablo por sus consejos y por su ayuda durante los meses en los que estuvimos colaborando sin los que la validación de esta tesis no hubiera sido posible.Y por último, a ti, al más especial, porque el ánimo que me has dado cada día con tu forma de ser y con tu gran éxito "la tesis no se escribe sola" no tiene precio. Gracias, porque sin ti, ni mi vida ni esta tesis serían lo mismo. OverviewDomain-specific languages (DSLs) are considered to be a powerful tool for enhancing the efficiency of software developers and bring software development closer to end-users from complex domains. However, the successful development of a DSL for a complex domain is a challenge from the technical point of vie...
