A generative development method with multiple domain-specific languages

Abstract

This paper investigates approaches proposed in the literature to compose domain-specific languages (DSLs) and mechanisms to integrate DSLs with feature models (FMs) in product line engineering. We propose a method for the development of generative approaches based on existing related work, which provides guidelines for the systematic development of DSL composition integrated with FMs during domain and application engineering. The proposed method is evaluated through an exploratory study of development of a generative approach for the experimental software engineering domain.
