OOPSLA Paper online!
The paper “Building a framework to support Domain Specific Language evolution using Microsoft DSL Tools” Gerardo de Geest, Aali Alikoski and I wrote together for the OOPSLA DSM event of this year has been published on internet: http://www.dsmforum.org/events/DSM07/papers.html.
The paper describes some issues regarding the evolution of DSLs, some scenarios and a solution in the form of a method for automating the transformation of domain models to a newer version of a DSL. The method is the result of the investigation on language evolution Gerardo is doing for his Master’s degree.
Gerardo and Aali will give a presentation on the subject during the OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling in Montréal the 21st of October.
