Title: Solving Software Engineering Problems with Domain-Specific Languages
Abstract:
A recurring problem in large-scale software engineering is a disconnect between high-level knowledge about a problem domain and its low level encoding in program code. The lack of such knowledge prevents validation with domain experts and makes software harder to understand and change in the face of new requirements. Model driven engineering (MDE) and Domain-specific Languages (DSL) aim to represent such knowledge explicitly and formally. As a result, the low level implementation can be derived automatically. In this talk I illustrate the problem with cases from the domain of banking, tax administration and digital forensics, and how these problems can be addressed with DSLs. Developing a DSL, however, is no small feat: it requires both domain knowledge and language engineering expertise. Advanced tools and techniques for language engineering are thus needed to support the incremental, iterative development and maintenance of software languages. I will sketch past, present and future research to push the state of the art in of language engineering in the areas of language workbenches, modularity and reuse, and live programming.
