=============================
The 9th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling
October 25-26, 2009
Orlando, Florida, USA
http://www.dsmforum.org/events/DSM09
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers:
An upward shift in abstraction leads to a corresponding increase in
productivity. In the past this has occurred when programming languages
have evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific
languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of
abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier.
In Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM), the models are constructed using
concepts that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of
a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain
abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive themselves as
working directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and
platforms, DSM can automate a large portion of software production.
The goals of this year's workshop are to focus on sharing experiences and
demonstrating the DSM solutions that have been developed by both
researchers and practitioners. Some of the issues that we would like to
see addressed in this workshop are:
- Industry/academic experience reports describing success/failure in
implementing and using domain-specific languages/tools
- Approaches to identify constructs for domain-specific languages
- Tools for supporting domain-specific modeling
- Approaches to implement metamodel-based modeling languages
- Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models
- Issues of support/maintenance for systems built with DSMs
- Evolution of languages in accordance with domain
- Metamodeling frameworks and languages
- Demonstrations of working DSM solutions (languages, generators,
frameworks, tools)
- Specific domains where this technology can be most productive in the
future (e.g., DSMs to describe aspects of embedded systems, product
families, systems with multiple implementation platforms)
- Separation of concerns and the application of new modularity
technologies (e.g., aspect-oriented) to domain-specific languages

Submission Information
The workshop welcomes four types of submissions:
1) Full papers describing ideas on either a practical or theoretical level.
Full papers should emphasize what is new and significant about the chosen
approach and compare it to other research work in the field.
2) Experience reports on applying DSM. Papers should describe case studies
and experience reports on the application, successes or shortcomings of
DSM. The experiences can be related for example on language creation or
use, tooling or organizational issues.
3) Position papers descri
