Engaging end-users in the collaborative development of domain-specific modelling languages

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40840-3_16Proceedings of 10th International Conference, CDVE 2013, Alcudia, Mallorca, Spain, September 22-25, 2013Domain-Specific Modelling Languages (DSMLs) are high-level languages specially designed to perform tasks in a particular domain. When developing DSMLs, the participation of end-users is normally limited to providing domain knowledge and testing the resulting language prototypes. Language developers, which are perhaps not domain experts, are therefore in control of the language development and evolution. This may cause misinterpretations which hamper the development process and the quality of the DSML. Thus, it would be beneficial to promote a more active participation of end-users in the development process of DSMLs. While current DSML workbenches are mono-user and designed for technical experts, we present a process and tool support for the example-driven, collaborative construction of DSMLs in order to engage end-users in the creation of their own languages.This work was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity (project “Go Lite” TIN2011-24139), the R&D programme of the Madrid Region (project “e-Madrid” S2009/TIC-1650) and the European Commission under the ICT Policy Support Programme, grant no. 317859

XVIII Simposio Internacional de Informática Educativa, SIIE 2016

El Simposio Internacional de Informática Educativa (SIIE) ofrece un foro internacional para la presentación y debate de los últimos avances en investigación sobre las tecnologías para el aprendizaje y su aplicación práctica en los procesos educativos. También pretende poner en contacto a investigadores, desarrolladores, representantes institucionales y profesores para compartir puntos de vista, conocimientos y experiencias
