| Abstract [eng] |
Domain Specific Modeling is a software engineering methodology for designing and developing information systems. It involves systematic use of a graphical domain specific language (DSL) to represent the various facets of a system. DSM languages tend to support higher-level abstractions than general purpose modeling languages, so they require less effort and fewer low-level details to specify a given system which is very important nowadays, when the functionality of information system must be maximized with minimum development time and cost. This paper compares usage of DSL for information system development with other two, most often used methodologies for this purpose: MDA and usage of UML. It gives basic advantages and disadvantages of DSL and DSM usage, describes differences of DSL (DSM), UML and MDA. This paper also describes usage of DSM methodology (creating DSL and using it for software development) for creating information system. It covers main steps of creation process’s: describing the domain concepts, describing the artifacts that are planning for the DSL, building domain model, building the designer for DSL, building the artifact generator, implementing validations and constraints, testing and deploying the DSL. |
