A Demonstration-based Approach for Domain-specific Modeling Language Creation
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a promising approach for addressing the issues of complex and large software system development that enables software engineers to develop software systems with high-level abstract models. In MDE, models are first-class entities of software system development and can improve the understanding of problem domains. In addition, models are used to predict the quality and performance of software systems. Within the context of MDE, Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) are developed to describe notions of a specific domain using either textual or graphical syntax. DSMLs provide a language that has abstractions and notations, as well as precise and concise modeling constructs, for specific domains (e.g., automotive, avionics, finance, and etc). DSMLs assist domain experts in describing their problems closer to the problem domain when compared to General-Purpose Modeling Languages (GPMLs), such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) or programming languages. DSMLs have been shown in the literature to provide several benefits, such as productivity improvement, quality improvement, and reduction of miscommunication. However, development of new DSMLs can be challenging and requires much time and effort. In addition, the current state of DSML is still in its infancy compared to the tools and resources available for creation of programming language environments. This dissertation investigates a new approach for DSML creation that allows domain experts to have a more prominent role in describing the languages that they use. The core contributions of the dissertation are focused on three aspects related to domain-specific modeling language creation: 1) enable the creation of DSMLs in a demonstration-based approach by recording and analyzing the operational behavior exhibited by a domain expert as they model notions of their domain, 2) enable domain expert verification of the inferred language by exploring the model space, and 3) enable domain expert verification of the inferred language by exploring the model space. The objectives and contributions of the research will be explained in detail in this dissertation, combined with case studies from several domain modeling languages to demonstrate how a domain expert can build their own DSMLs in practice.

The definitive guide to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs): the newest breakthrough in software engineering productivity and quality. The first comprehensive, tool-independent guide to DSL design. Clearly explains all the complex concepts that DSL creators and users need to understand: syntax, semantics, and much more. For DSL developers in all environments, from advanced software engineering to vertical markets. By a leading expert who has created DSLs as a participant in both UML and OCL design. More and more software engineers are turning to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) to solve specific types of problems, or to enhance software productivity and quality. This complete guide to DSL design will be invaluable to professionals interested in advanced techniques ranging from model-driven development to software factories - many of whom have no previous experience in creating new languages. Completely tool-independent, this book can serve as a primary resource for readers using Microsoft DSL tools, the Eclipse Modeling Framework, Open Architecture Ware, or any other toolset. Experienced DSL creator and researcher Anneke Kleppe introduces and explains every ingredient of an effective language specification, including its description of concepts, its description of how those concepts are denoted, and its description of the concepts' meaning and relationship to the specific domain. Kleppe carefully illuminates good design strategy, showing how to achieve maximum flexibility. Readers will also learn how to create new languages that cooperate well with other languages, and contain references to elements written in those languages. The book contains multiple examples, as well as a running case study, handy summaries, and references, as well as a glossary and abbreviation list. Sidebars, figures, and cartoons present insights and background knowledge designed to help software engineers create successful DSLs as rapidly as possible.
Offsite Production and Manufacturing for Innovative Construction
The offsite and modular market is continuing to grow. This book builds on the success of a number of initiatives, including formative findings from literature, research and development and practice-based evidence (success stories). It presents new thinking and direction from leading experts in the fields of: design, process, construction, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, robotics, delivery platforms, business and transformational strategies, change management, legislation, organisational learning, software design, innovation and biomimetics. This book is particularly novel and timely, as it brings together a number of cogent subjects under one collective ‘umbrella’. Each of these chapters contain original findings, all of which culminate in three 'Key Learning Points' which provide new insight into the cross-cutting themes, interrelationships and symbiotic forces that exist between each of these chapters. This approach also provides readers with new contextualised understanding of the wider issues affecting the offsite market, from the need to embrace societal challenges, through to the development of rich value-laden solutions required for creating sector resilience. Content includes a balance between case studies and practice-based work, through to technical topics, theoretical propositions, pioneering research and future offsite opportunities ready for exploitation. This work includes: stakeholder integration, skills acquisition, new business models and processes, circularity and sustainable business strategies, robotics and automation, innovation and change, lean production methodologies and new construction methods, Design for Manufacturing and Assembly, scaled portfolio platforms and customisability, new legal regulatory standards and conformance issues and offsite feasibility scenario development/integration.
