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

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.
