SMML: Software Measurement Modeling Language

Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and Software Measurement are at present increasingly important in Software Engineering research. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and Software Measurement are at present increasingly important in Software Engineering research They have, in fact, become important aspects of the software industry. Domain languages facilitate the software development process in a specific domain, and measurement can help to address certain critical issues in software development and maintenance by facilitating the making of decisions. This work presents a language which allows users to define software measurement models based on the Software Measurement Ontology. Syntactically and semantically correct models in this language conform to a specific measurement metamodel, which is aligned with the aforementioned ontology.
