“…DSL development has tended to be a difficult endeavour, often requiring users to design their own tools and compilers to make these languages executable. Recently however, there has been a steady increase in the number of language workbenches that facilitate the development of DSLs, such as or MPS 64 . Such workbenches could provide useful features to a language designed to create simulations.…”

The study of morphogenesis has increasingly entailed the use of computer simulations to predict intricate behaviours from these systems, which has led to the development of tools for computational biologists to build their own simulations. However, uptake of these tools by experimental biologists has been slow and concerns remain over the assumptions underlying such tools, which are not readily explicable to a domain expert without prior programming knowledge. To demonstrate how these concerns might be addressed, we propose the creation of a domain-specific language (DSL) of one such simulation, the MemAgent-Spring model (MSM). By designing this DSL around regimented biological concepts identified by observing discussions between experimentalists and modellers, we hope to better understand how the usability and reproducibility of the MSM might be improved, therefore potentially increasing its usage by experimentalists.

“…for the expression '2 + 3 * 4' one can select '2' or '3 * 4', but not '2 + 3'), and quickly fell out of fashion. The modern syntax directed editor MPS [Pech et al 2013] alleviates some, though not all, of these problems. However, it requires significant expertise on the part of the language composition author to make editing a pleasant experience, as the AST structure places constraints on many editing operations.…”

Default disambiguation for online parsers

Since composed grammars are often ambiguous, grammar composition requires a mechanism for dealing with ambiguity: either ruling it out by using delimiters (which are awkward to work with), or by using disambiguation operators to filter a parse forest down to a single parse tree (where, in general, we cannot be sure that we have covered all possible parse forests). In this paper, we show that default disambiguation, which is inappropriate for batch parsing, works well for online parsing, where it can be overridden by the user if necessary. We extend language boxes -a delimiter-based algorithm atop incremental parsing -in such a way that default disambiguation can automatically insert, remove, or resize, language boxes, leading to the automatic language boxes algorithm. The nature of the problem means that default disambiguation cannot always match a user's intention. However, our experimental evaluation shows that automatic language boxes behave acceptably in 96.8% of tests involving compositions of real-world programming languages.

BSML-mbeddr: integrating semantically configurable state-machine models in a C programming environment

In model-driven engineering, developers express their solutions in domain-specific modelling languages (DSLs) that support domain-specific abstractions. Big-Step Modelling Languages (BSML) is a family of extended state-machine DSLs for creating executable models that have a complex execution semantics. In this paper, we present BSML-mbeddr, which imbeds a large subset of BSML within the mbeddr C programming environment, thereby extending mbeddr with language constructs for extended, semantically configurable state-machines. We also report on three case studies that exercise the expressiveness of BSML-mbeddr, assess the integrability of BSML-mbeddr into mbeddr, and demonstrate the need to provide support for state-machine models with different execution semantics.
