“…One of the crucial steps in language development is language design, which involves gathering and analyzing requirements, defining key concepts, specifying abstract syntax, and choosing appropriate notations. Karagiannis (2018) introduced the Agile Modeling Method Engineering (AMME) approach that combines agile principles with modeling techniques, enabling the rapid and iterative development of modeling methods tailored to specific projects or organizational needs. Karagiannis et al (2019) further explore modeling method requirements, and as a result the authors introduced CoChaCo (Concept-Characteristic-Connector) method in order to appropriately support earlier stages in the AMME approach.…”

Maintenance of Data Warehouse (DW) systems is a critical task because any downtime or data loss can have significant consequences on business applications. Existing DW maintenance solutions mostly rely on concrete technologies and tools that are dependent on: the platform on which the DW system was created; the specific data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) tool; and the database language the DW uses. Different languages for different versions of DW systems make organizing DW processes difficult, as minimal changes in the structure require major changes in the application code for managing ETL processes. This article proposes a domain-specific language (DSL) for ETL process management that mitigates these problems by centralizing all program logic, making it independent from a particular platform. This approach would simplify DW system maintenance. The platform-independent language proposed in this article also provides an easier way to create a unified environment to control DW processes, regardless of the language, environment, or ETL tool the DW uses.

“…Formalization is also essential in the light of the emergent importance of domain specific modeling languages (DSMLs) [23] as well as an increasing agility in the advancement and extension of established languages and methods [34]. The lack of a common way for formalizing DSMLs leads to divergent formal foundations limiting the opportunities to compare or link models.…”

Enterprise modeling deals with the increasing complexity of processes and systems by operationalizing model content and by linking complementary models and languages, thus amplifying the model-value beyond mere comprehensible pictures. To enable this amplification and turn models into computer-processable structures a comprehensive formalization is needed. This paper presents a generic formalism based on typed firstorder logic and provides a perspective on the potential and benefits arising for a variety of research issues in conceptual modeling. We define modeling languages as formal languages with a signature Σ -comprising object types, relation types, and attributes through types and function symbols -and a set of constraints. Three cases studies are included to show the effectiveness of the approach. Applying the formalism to the next level in the hierarchy of models we create M2FOL, a formal modeling language for metamodels. We show that M2FOL is self-describing and therefore complete the formalization of the full four-layer metamodeling stack. On the basis of our generic formalism applicable to arbitrary modeling languages we examine three current research topics -language interleaving & consistency, operations on models, and automatic translation of formalizations to platform-specific code -and how to approach them with the proposed formalism. This shows that the rich knowledge stack on formal languages in logic offers new tools for old problems.

“…The main practical goal of applying such approaches to software development is to reduce the time and other project resources required to meet the requirements of different groups of future users. To achieve this goal, methods and technologies for building domain-specific programming languages (DSLs) [4] and domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) [5] for a particular domain of software development have been successfully used recently, which makes it possible to ensure more efficient software development and maintenance processes. Another significant advantage of using DSL and DSML is the ability to support the variability and adaptability of relevant software solutions consistently and effectively, which in modern software engineering has acquired a common definition -"variability" of software [6].…”

Building conceptual models for software design, in particular for high-tech applications such as smart home systems, is a complex task that significantly affects the efficiency of their development processes. One of the innovative methods of solving this problem is the use of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs), which can reduce the time and other project resources required to create such systems. The subject of research in this paper is approaches to the development of DSML for Smart Home systems as a separate class of Internet of Things systems. The purpose of this work is to propose an approach to the development of DSMLs based on a model of variability of the properties of such a system. The following tasks are being solved: analysis of some existing approaches to the creation of DSMLs; construction of a multifaceted classification of requirements for them, application of these requirements to the design of the syntax of a specific DSML-V for the creation of variable software in smart home systems; development of a technological scheme and quantitative metrics for experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The following methods are used: variability modeling based on the property model, formal notations for describing the syntax of the DSML-V language, and the use of the open CASE tool metaDepth. Results: a multifaceted classification of requirements for a broad class of DSML languages is built; the basic syntactic constructions of the DSML-V language are developed to support the properties of software variability of "Smart Home" systems; a formal description of such syntax in the Backus-Naur notation is given; a technological scheme for compiling DSML-V specifications into the syntax of the language of the open CASE tool metaDepth is created; the effectiveness of the proposed approach using quantitative metrics is experimentally investigated. Conclusions: the proposed method of developing a specialized problem-oriented language for smart home systems allows for multilevel modeling of the variability properties of its software components and provides an increase in the efficiency of programming such models by about 14% compared to existing approaches.
