The 9th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling



October 25-26, 2009

Orlando, Florida, USA



http://www.dsmforum.org/events/DSM09



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers:



An upward shift in abstraction leads to a corresponding increase in

productivity. In the past this has occurred when programming languages

have evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific

languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of

abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier.



In Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM), the models are constructed using

concepts that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of

a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain

abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive themselves as

working directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and

platforms, DSM can automate a large portion of software production.



The goals of this year's workshop are to focus on sharing experiences and

demonstrating the DSM solutions that have been developed by both

researchers and practitioners. Some of the issues that we would like to

see addressed in this workshop are:

- Industry/academic experience reports describing success/failure in

implementing and using domain-specific languages/tools

- Approaches to identify constructs for domain-specific languages

- Tools for supporting domain-specific modeling

- Approaches to implement metamodel-based modeling languages

- Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models

- Issues of support/maintenance for systems built with DSMs

- Evolution of languages in accordance with domain

- Metamodeling frameworks and languages

- Demonstrations of working DSM solutions (languages, generators,

frameworks, tools)

- Specific domains where this technology can be most productive in the

future (e.g., DSMs to describe aspects of embedded systems, product

families, systems with multiple implementation platforms)

- Separation of concerns and the application of new modularity

technologies (e.g., aspect-oriented) to domain-specific languages

Important Dates:



Initial submission: August 10

Author Notification: 1 week prior to Early Registration deadline

Final version: October 5

Workshop: October 25-26



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission Information



The workshop welcomes four types of submissions:



1) Full papers describing ideas on either a practical or theoretical level.

Full papers should emphasize what is new and significant about the chosen

approach and compare it to other research work in the field.



2) Experience reports on applying DSM. Papers should describe case studies

and experience reports on the application, successes or shortcomings of

DSM. The experiences can be related for example on language creation or

use, tooling or organizational issues.



3) Position papers describing work in progress or an author’s position

regarding current DSM practice.



4) DSM demonstrations describing a particular language, generator, or tool

for a particular domain. During the workshop, the DSM solution presented in

the paper can be demonstrated to the participants.



Papers should be submitted by August 10, 2009. Please see the submission

details at the workshop webpage at http://www.dsmforum.org/events/DSM09.

The accepted papers will be published in the printed proceedings and

posted on the workshop web site.
