TLDR
A number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.Abstract:
To match the needs of the fast paced generation, the speed of computing has also increased enormously. But, there is a limit to which the processor speed can be amplified. Hence in order to increase productivity, there is a need to change focus from processing time to programming time. Reduction in programming time can be achieved by identifying the domain to which the task belongs and using an appropriate Domain Specific Language (DSL). DSLs are constrained to use terms and concepts pertaining to an explicit domain making it much easier for the programmers to understand and learn, and cuts down the development time drastically. In this paper, we will understand what a DSL is; explore a number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.read more

Evolution of Domain-Specific Modeling Language: An Example of an Industrial Case Study on an RT-Sequencer
Marjan Mernik,Tomaz Kosar +1 more
TL;DR: RT-Sequencer as discussed by the authors is a new domain-specific modeling language for real-time control systems, which is based on domain specific modeling language (DSML) which is particular to the problem domain.

Aggregate Callback: A design pattern for flexible and robust runtime model building
TL;DR: This paper presents a design pattern, referred as Aggregate Callback that supports enforcing constraints in the model and thus helps creating correct models and has found that the Aggregate callback pattern is useful for tool developers that build models in their applications.

The timeline as a programming interface
Bruno Cardoso,Teresa Romão +1 more
TL;DR: EveWorks is a framework for context awareness that interfaces with the rest of the application code through statements written in a simple, interpreted language inspired by one of the most ubiquitous representations of temporality, the timeline.
Investigating the Effects of Integrating Handcrafted Code in Model-Driven Engineering.
TL;DR: This study develops the behavior of selected components of the software architecture of a small autonomous robot using either the delegation pattern or a Java-like action language, and aims to uncover which method yields better acceptance and performance results.
A Bottom Up Approach to Model Based Program Validation.
Thomas Peter Calder,Yngve Lamo +1 more
TL;DR: A MDE based approach to program validation, where domain requirements are presented in a metamodel is proposed, where programs are parsed and represented as models before they are checked against the metammodel.

Domain-specific languages
TL;DR: This book covers a variety of different techniques available for DSLs and can be used with whatever programming language you happen to be using, most of the examples are in Java or C#.
