Traditionally, it has been difficult for development teams to combine the use of models and code - modeling tools and programming environments. The reason is partly because of the modeling languages used and partly because of the tools. With the Eclipse plug-in, domain-specific models, expressed as diagrams, matrices or tables in MetaEdit+, can be browsed and used directly from Eclipse.The MetaEdit+ plug-in for Eclipse allows generators to import and integrate the generated code with the code…See More

In 2012, we're aiming to have another LWC workshop the day before CodeGeneration. Registration options for speakers and participants are available on http://www.codegeneration.net/cg2012/booking.htm.Note that the call for speakers is closed now!!!Details on parties implementing a solution can be found here: http://www.languageworkbenches.net, under LWC 2012.See More

The ECMFA conference is dedicated to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the industrial application of MBE and related approaches. Its focus is on engaging the key figures of research and industry in a dialog which will result in stronger and more effective practical application of MBE, hence producing more reliable software based on state-of-the-art research results.The conference has tracks for both industry and academics. In addition there are sessions for workshops, tutorials,…See More

At Code Generation 2011 panel “Build or Buy: Who should develop your DSL and generators?” I had a chance to ask audience opinion too. The results were:Internally: 17Tool vendor: 9External consultant: 8 Don’t know: 10 It was not a surprise that the attitude of self-made man was well presented at the conference, but our studies targeting developer managers show pretty similar results (see results…See More

Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) provides a modern solution to demands for higher productivity by constricting the gap between problem and solution modeling. In the past, productivity gains have been sought through new programming languages. Today, domain-specific modeling languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier.The workshop welcomes submissions that address Domain-Specific Modeling on practical or…See More

The day before Code Generation 2011, we organise the Language Workbench Competition workshop. Ten different presenters will show how they have implemented a language creation challenge in their language workbench of choice.More information on can be foudn on http://www.languageworkbenches.net, and registration can be arranged through the registration page at…See More

Booking is now open and Model-Driven Software Network members get 10% off conference fees.The Code Generation conference is recognised as the leading event on the practical application of Code Generation and Model-Driven Software Development. If you want to learn about how people are applying these approaches, in hands-on sessions, tutorials and…See More

This video outlines the steps of defining a DSM solution: defining the modeling language concepts and rules, drawing the notation and making the code generators. I demonstrate each step of DSM definition with MetaEdit+ tool.
