DSM 2013 - International Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM)

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. Some possible topics for submission to the workshop include:
Industry/academic experience reports
Creation of metamodel-based languages
Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models
Evolution of languages
Metamodeling frameworks and languages
Tools for creating and using DSM languages
