Domain-Specific Modeling

This book introduces Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) and illustrates examples from various fields of software product development. The main part of the book addresses the guidelines for implementing DSM: how to identify the necessary language constructs, what options are available for code generation; and what tools are available to provide tool support for a new DSM language.

The DSM example cases described in the book are included on an accompanying CD together with an evaluation copy of the MetaEdit+ tool to examine and try out the modeling languages and code generators.  Evaluation versions are included for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
