Programmers use a variety of languages in their daily work, and new languages appear frequently. This proliferation is not gratuitous: each new language offers specific solutions to genuine software problems. However, not all languages address the problem of general-purpose computing: domain-specific languages (DSLs) are explicitly designed to cover only a narrow class of problems, while offering compelling advantages within that class. This conference is dedicated to the discussion of the unique aspects of DSL design, DSL implementation, and the use of DSLs in software engineering. Domain-specific languages give rise to a number of questions. What are the design principles for the creation of new DSLs? How can the process of DSL design be codified and structured? What roles can domain-specific languages play in software engineering? How does the use of domain-specific languages affect software engineering process? What are the tools, environments, and techniques needed to support the use of domain-specific languages? What are the concrete technical advantages and disadvantages of domain-specific languages? What are the economic costs and benefits of domain- specific languages? These and other questions are the focus of this conference on domain-specific languages. The conference seeks to advance the practice of DSL design, DSL implementation, and software engineering generally by: -- eliciting examples of successful domain-specific languages -- highlighting the spectrum of benefits which domain-specific languages can provide -- discovering design principles and methodologies for creating DSLs -- eliciting design techniques and tools for working with domain- specific languages throughout the software engineering lifecycle -- providing a framework within which language designers from different domains can easily communicate -- establishing the practical value of domain-specific languages through the publication of empirical data concerning productivity, quality, and maintainability -- creating a community that will continue to study and refine the practice of software engineering through domain-specific languages CONFERENCE TOPICS ================= The technical sessions will include refereed papers, invited talks, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions. We seek papers that draw on experience in a wide variety of areas, including but not limited to the following topics. - formal methods - software design and architecture - declarative languages - software engineering - software process - database languages - program analysis and automated transformation - computer architecture - design process and languages - visual languages and environments - hardware specification languages - parallel computing languages - type theory - distributed computing languages - testing - prototyping PAPER CRITERIA ============== Article Unavailable
