Domain engineering is a set of activities intended to develop, maintain, and manage the creation and evolution of an area of knowledge suitable for processing by a range of software systems. It is of considerable practical significance, as it provides methods and techniques that help reduce time-to-market, development costs, and project risks on one hand, and helps improve system quality and performance on a consistent basis on the other. In this book, the editors present a collection of invited chapters from various fields related to domain engineering. The individual chapters present state-of-the-art research and are organized in three parts. The first part focuses on results that deal with domain engineering in software product lines. The second part describes how domain-specific languages are used to support the construction and deployment of domains. Finally, the third part presents contributions dealing with domain engineering within the field of conceptual modeling. All chapters utilize a similar terminology, which will help readers to understand and relate to the chapters content. The book will be especially rewarding for researchers and students of software engineering methodologies in general and of domain engineering and its related fields in particular, as it contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on this topic.

Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) is currently a highlyregarded development paradigm among developers and researchers.With the advent of OMG's MDA and Microsoft's Software Factories,the MDSD approach has moved to the centre of the programmer'sattention, becoming the focus of conferences such as OOPSLA, JAOOand OOP. MDSD is about using domain-specific languages to create models thatexpress application structure or behaviour in an efficient anddomain-specific way. These models are subsequently transformed intoexecutable code by a sequence of model transformations. This practical guide for software architects and developers ispeppered with practical examples and extensive case studies.International experts deliver: * A comprehensive overview of MDSD and how it relates to industrystandards such as MDA and Software Factories. * Technical details on meta modeling, DSL construction,model-to-model and model-to-code transformations, and softwarearchitecture. * Invaluable insight into the software development process, plusengineering issues such as versioning, testing and product lineengineering. * Essential management knowledge covering economic andorganizational topics, from a global perspective. Get started and benefit from some practical support along the way!
