............................................................................ CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Coordination of Domain Specific Languages

23rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering September 16, 2008 L'Aquila (Italy)

http://www.model-transformation.org/CDSL2008/ ............................................................................

THEME/MOTIVATION

Raising the level of abstraction beyond programming by specifying the problem directly using domain concepts is gaining acceptance in developing software systems. In fact, this leverages intellectual property and business logic from source code into high-level descriptions and allows organizations to focus on the essential aspects of their systems, which have traditionally been blurred by the usage of programming languages and underlying technologies. In many cases, final products can be generated automatically from high-level specifications which encode the problem and not its solution.

In general, this automation is possible because both the language and generators need fit the requirements of only one company and domain. The workshop aims at exploring techniques, systems, metamodels and languages to define communities of domain-specific languages which exists as a whole or individually and are, in some sense, able to coordinate each other according to an overall semantics/scope. Multi-view specifications, system and language synchronization, and language evolution and co-adaptation can be considered typical applications of these techniques.

TOPICS

This workshop focuses on the scientific and practical aspects related with the adoption of Domain-Specific Languages for supporting system engineering and modeling. Thus, we encourage submissions from both academia and industry about the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

- Tools and techniques for supporting domain-specific languages, domain-specific modeling, and metamodels. - Principles for identifying constructs for coordinating languages. - Language and Model/Metamodel synchronization, composition and correspondence specification. - Consistency and conflicts in community of languages, models/metamodels - Language and Metamodel evolution / co-adaptation. - White vs. black box composition of languages. - Industry/academic experience reports describing success/failure in adopting several domain-specific languages at once. - Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific languages. - Issues of support/maintenance of models and evolution of a language in accordance with the representative domain. - Specific domains where the adoption of DSLs and related technologies looks promising.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Research papers should describe original research results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, appropriateness and significance. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages in the IEEE format. Experience reports should describe new insights gained from case studies or the application of language/modeling techniques in practice.

All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the program committee. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or PostScript format via the submission page on the Workshop website.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

A selected number of the best papers accepted will be invited for expansion and revision for possible publication in a journal special issue dedicated to the subject.
