Abstract

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) allow modelling concerns at a high abstraction level. This simplifies the modelling process and ensures that non-technical stakeholders can be more closely involved in software development. However, increasing the abstraction level causes details of the problem domain to be excluded from the problem space. In some situations, this may render a DSL useless since required details can not be captured by the language. In this paper we explore how generic metamodels can be parameterised to model additional details and thereby increase the reuse value of DSLs.
