Abstract

An increasing number of software development projects uses domain specific languages (DSLs) at least at one stage. Such languages allow domain experts to take part in the product development, and they can often contribute to improved efficiency. As a drawback, the development of a DSL is a complex and error-prone software development process itself, which causes additional efforts and costs. Moreover, the actual software product and the DSL are often developed concurrently, and the requirements for the DSL may change according to the needs of developers of the actual product. Therefore, we have to address two interdependent development processes: the product development process, in which we may need to react on requirement changes by the customer quickly, and the language development process, in which we want to define an adaptable and extensible DSL.
