DSLFin 2013 - International Workshop on Domain-Specific Languages for Financial Systems

The recent financial crisis has renewed the financial industry’s focus on transparency and risk management. With the accompanying broadened regulatory scope, a new set of stakeholders have arrived at the financial services table, each of which has a different viewpoint, mission, skill set, and terminology. Domain-specific languages (DSLs) tailored to specific problems have proven to be effective in financial systems in the past, drawing on advancements in functional languages, ontology languages, and business process and rule modeling languages. However, with the rapid increase in the complexity of regulatory regimes, ad-hoc languages are becoming less effective; thus the principled design, evolution, and maintenance of financial DSLs are more important than ever before.
The DSLFIN workshop will bring together software architects, engineers, and researchers in the financial services domain who are working with domain-specific languages (DSLs) and with frameworks for creating and managing DSLs. Additionally, we encourage attendance from individuals without financial experience to learn more about the financial domain and opportunities to apply their ideas in the financial domain.
A listing of financial DSLs, papers, and presentations is available on the workshop website at http://www.dslfin.org.
