Abstract
Interest in domain-specific modeling (DSM) comes from the aspiration to significantly improve the productivity and quality of software development by raising the level of abstraction beyond programming. This is done by specifying the solution directly using domain concepts, rather than lower level programming language and specific platformconcepts that introduce layers of accidental complexity. In the past, productivity gains have been sought from new programming languages. Today, domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) provide a solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier. In DSM, the models are constructed using concepts that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive themselves asworking directlywith domain concepts. The models represent simultaneously the design, implementation and documentation of the system (which can be generated directly from the models). In a number of cases, as some of the papers in this theme issue describe, the final products can be generated automatically from the high-level
