A New Application of Domain Specific Modeling Towards Implementing an Early Warning Service

Abstract. Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) has been used for a while in many scenarios, case studies, and applications successfully. This paper intends to present a new application of DSM for facilitating an Early Warning Service (EWS). The knowledge about risks and its representation is an important factor for any EWS. The challenge is to help the users be closer to the understanding of the associated risks and to facilitate them with a new software application so as to provide the ability of risk analysis, we propose in this paper a novel application of using Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) in deploying EWS. The paper presents a case study in which there is a need to develop an EWS for the personnel of institutions involved in the drinking water delivery governance model in the Republic of Ireland.
