OO design methodology of a DSL using EMF: (Demonstration for the telco revenue assurance domain)

Abstract

The software engineering community has taken a great interest in using domain-specific languages (DSLs) [1] to improve the productivity of software development. We demonstrate the design of a DSL as a variant of object-oriented development by applying UML[2] via the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) [3] [4], exposing significant software functionality to the nonprogrammer domain experts.
