Abstract

Domain-Specific Modeling has gained increasing popularity in software modeling. Domain-Specific Modeling Languages can simplify the design and the implementation of systems in various domains. Consequent domain specific visualization helps to understand the models for domain specialists. However, the efficiency of domain-specific modeling is often determined by the limited capabilities -- i.e. the lack of interactive design elements, low customization facilities -- of the editor applications. This paper introduces the Presentation Framework of Visual Modeling and Transformation System, the framework provides a flexible environment for model visualization and provides a declarative solution for appearance description as well.
