“…Driving forces for the further development were the scientific workflow projects reported in more detail in the course of this paper. In parallel, the framework formed the backbone for numerous extensions, like the Electronic Tool Integration platform ETI [108] and its variants jETI [76] and Bio-jETI [60,75], the Genesys [45,47] and PROPHETS (Process Realization and Optimization Platform using Human-readable Expressions of Temporal-logic Synthesis) [63,88] plugins for code generation and model synthesis, and finally the DyWa tool for developing dynamic Web applications [94]. Currently, the jABC heritage of designing domain-specific modelling tools is taken over by the Cinco Meta-tooling suite [89], which lifts domain modelling to the meta level.…”

“…With PROPHETS, the user does not need to do the entire workflow design manually anymore, but can just sketch the most salient elements and let PROPHETS complete it into a compatible and executable service composition. -In response to the need for more explicit and more flexible data and data-flow modelling, the DyWA [94] and jABC4 [92] frameworks facilitate the definition of domain-specific data models and the graphical definition of data flows in the jABC, respectively. This facilitates the co-design and co-evolution of data structures and workflows that operate on them.…”

“…The recently introduced jABC4 [92,93,96] and DyWA [31,94] frameworks address these needs. The jABC4 is an extension of the third generation of the jABC that, among other things, adds type-awareness to the ExecutionContext (so that type-safety can already be validated during workflow design) and allows for graphically supported data-flow definition to the editor (so that the data flow also becomes visible in the graphical workflow model).…”

“…The DyWA framework has been designed to "support application experts without programming knowledge to model (according to their professional knowledge and understanding) both the domain-specific data models and the business process models that act on the data via automatically generated elementary data operations" [94]. In essence, it provides a database together with easy means for the definition of domain-specific data structures and to access the database from within the workflows, which can of course also be used in scientific application domains.…”

The jABC is a framework for process modelling and execution according to the XMDD (eXtreme Model-Driven Design) paradigm, which advocates the rigorous use of user-level models in the software development process and software life cycle. We have used the jABC in the domain of scientific workflows for more than a decade now -an occasion to look back and take stock of our experiences in the field. On the one hand, we discuss results from the analysis of a sample of nearly 100 scientific workflow applications that have been implemented with the jABC. On the other hand, we reflect on our experiences and observations regarding the workflow development process with the framework. We then derive and discuss ongoing further developments and future perspectives for the framework, all with an emphasis on simplicity for end-users through increased domain specificity. Concretely, we describe how the use of the PROPHETS synthesis plugin can enable a semanticsbased simplification of the workflow design process, how with the jABC4 and DyWA frameworks more attention is paid to the ease of data management, and how the Cinco SCCE Meta Tooling Suite can be used to generate tailored workflow management tools.

We present Pyro, a framework for enabling domain-specific modeling via the internet. Provided with an adequate metamodel specification, Pyro turns your browser into a collaborative, domain-specific, graphical development environment with features reminiscent of desktop IDEs for textual programming languages. The required metamodeling is supported in a high-level, simplicity-driven fashion, and the entire ready-to-run browser-based domain-specific development environment is generated fully automatically. We will illustrate the steps of this development along the realization of a graphical IDE for the Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL).
