This book introduces DSM and offers examples from various fields to illustrate to experienced developers how DSM can improve software development in their teams. Two authorities in the field explain what DSM is, why it works, and how to successfully create and use a DSM solution to improve productivity and quality. There is an emphasis throughout the book on practical guidelines for implementing DSM, including how to identify the necessary language construction, how to generate full code from models, and how to provide tool support for a new DSM language. Domain-Specific Modeling is an important reference for the lead developer, software engineers, architects, methodologists, and technical managers who want to learn how to create a DSM solution and successfully put it into practice.
