Using DEViL for Implementation of Domain-Specific Visual Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of visual languages requires a wide range of conceptual and technical knowledge. A handimplementation of a visual DSL is often too expensive for a domain with a limited user comunity. We present the DEViL system, that generates complete language implementations from high level specifications. DEViL allows to implement visual languages with limited effort and limited expert knowledge. We give a general overview of DEViL’s specification mechanisms and discuss our experiences as well as open issues regarding visual language implementation.

Generating visual structure editors from high-level specifications
The implementation of visual languages requires a wide range of conceptual and technical knowledge from issues of user interface design and graphical implementation to aspects of analysis and transformation for languages in general. We present the DEViL system that incorporates such knowledge. It generates complete language implementations from high level specifications. DEViL is the successor ...
متن کاملDEViL3D - A Generator Framework for Three-Dimensional Visual Languages
Visual languages are beneficial particularly for domain-specific applications, since they support graphical metaphors of the domain. The development of graphical editors for such languages can be simplified by using generator frameworks. Up to now the majority of visual languages are two-dimensional, but there are domains which are much better described by three-dimensional language constructs....
متن کاملTowards Verifiable Device Drivers: an Approach Based on Domain-specific Languages Fabrice Mérillon Laurent Réveillère Charles Consel Robin Hansen Renaud Marlet
Although peripheral devices come out at a frantic pace and require fast releases of drivers, little progress has been made to improve the development of drivers. Too often, this development consists of decoding hardware intricacies, based on ambiguous or incomplete documentation , to determine how to operate a device. Then, assembly-level operations need to be used to interact with the device. ...
متن کاملA Pattern-based Framework to Address Abstraction, Reuse, and Cross-domain Aspects in Domain Specific Visual Languages
The history of software development has shown a trend towards higher levels of abstraction, code reuse and automatic code generation. This trend has continued with the development of Domain Specific Visual Languages (DSVL). We have developed a framework for the creation, use, and management of Patterns for DSVL environments that supports high levels of abstraction and high degrees of reuse and ...
