Michał Antkiewicz, Krzysztof Czarnecki, Matthew Stephan

• DOI: 10.1109/TSE.2009.30
• T3C: DSLs
  • The paper proposes a method and exemplars for engineering framework-specific modelling languages, a form of domain-specific language tailored to a framework.
• T3F: API
  • The languages are explicitly centred on framework APIs, capturing API abstractions/rules and modelling application usage of APIs.
• T4A: Workbenches
  • It discusses language tooling/engineering workflows (including reverse/forward/round-trip engineering) needed to support FSML use cases.
