How can you develop domain-specific languages (DSL), generators and product families efficiently and at the same time provide for functional variations as well as for different platforms. Rüdiger Schilling will explain possibilities on a half-day event including practical exercises at the Institute for Business Information Systems of the Leipzig University.

As part of the "Software System Families and Product Lines" module of the Master’s Degree programme for Business Information Systems, Rüdiger Schilling will give a guest lecture on model-driven development of DSLs and generators. External attendees are welcome to attend this guest lecture.

Guest lecture:
Model-driven Development of DSL’s and Generators
Rüdiger Schilling, CEO, Delta Software Technology

17th May 2011, 1:15 – 6:45 pm
Leipzig University, Institute for Business Information Systems
Grimmaische Straße 12, seminar room 2 (I 121)

Model-driven Development of DSLs and Generators

Although DSLs and generators are decisive components of the model-driven development, especially generators are often developed with out-dated programming techniques avoiding any kind of modelling and abstraction – just like the old saying: “The shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot”.

Rüdiger Schilling, CEO of Delta Software Technology and initiator of the frame-based and model-driven tools ANGIE® and HyperSenses® will show the development from generative proceedings to generator construction and explain advantages and disadvantages of each method:

• Classic principles of the generator development using macro and script languages
• Frame-based generators
• Completely model-driven generator and DSL development

Examples and practical exercises will clarify the differences between these development proceedings.

Furthermore, Rüdiger Schilling will show how to efficiently develop a product family for mobile apps. Mobile apps are a particularly concise and representative example for the problem, because besides the functional variations a large number of different platforms have to be considered at the same time.
