Modeling Support for Domain-Specific Application Definition
This work addresses the need for easier application definition in specific domains, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing modeling concepts without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of defining domain-specific applications by introducing a modeling support infrastructure with meta-models and generators to create reusable behavior blocks, and it presents visual languages to facilitate model creation.
In this paper we present the modeling support infrastructure for domain-specific application definition. This consists of a set of meta-models and the associated generators to allow the definition of reusable and domain-specific behavior blocks, which can later be used to compose complex behaviors. In addition we also present the related visual languages that facilitate the creation of these models.
