Software Evolution to Domain-Specific Languages

Stefan Fehrenbach, Sebastian Erdweg, Klaus Ostermann

• DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-02654-1_6
• T2B: Evolution
  • The contribution proposes a process for evolving existing systems toward (embedded) DSL usage rather than rewriting from scratch.
• T3C: DSLs
  • The target outcome is adoption of embedded domain-specific languages to improve maintainability and tool support.
• T3B: Transformation Languages
  • The proposed evolution process relies on systematic program changes/refactorings that can be viewed as transformation steps toward DSL usage.
