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

Containerless Plurals: Separating Number from Type in Object-Oriented Programming
TL;DR: A core object-oriented programming language, dubbed Num, is presented, which separates number from type so that the type of an expression is independent of the number of objects it may evaluate to, thus removing one major obstacle to using no, one, and many objects uniformly.
Practical analyses and transformations for flow-based parallelism
TL;DR: This dissertation demonstrates that it is possible to reduce the manual burden of such analyses and transformation through automation, and can successfully parallelize applications from the aforementioned domains with good performance, while remaining fast enough to be used interactively as part of a developer’s workflow.

Towards Model Driven Safety and Security by Design
TL;DR: In this paper , a model-driven approach for drone mission planning is proposed to automate the analysis of the safety and security properties of the system under design, and feedback is provided to the developers so that they are able to reason about the design decisions that they recently made.

DSL-driven Integration of HTTP Services in DIME
TL;DR: In this article , the authors propose the first attempt to allow for the easy integration of web services into the low-code immersive modeling environment (IME) DIME, by means of a domain-specific language (DSL), the HTTP-DSL.
