SLE 2008 SI paper:
A Model-Based Approach to Families of Embedded Domain-Specific Languages

Jesús Sánchez Cuadrado, Jesús Garćıa Molina

• DOI: 10.1109/TSE.2009.14
• T1E: Reuse
  • The main contribution is a reuse-oriented approach to build families of embedded DSLs via systematic composition mechanisms.
• T2C: Variability
  • It explicitly treats “families of DSLs” and variability through composing and configuring multiple DSL definitions.
• T1D: Composition
  • The approach centres on composition of abstract syntax, concrete syntax, and transformations, i.e., modular combination of language artefacts.
• T3C: DSLs
  • Embedded DSLs are the target language form and the paper contributes a framework and case study for engineering them.
