Abstract

Domain specific modelling, as a widely accepted software development paradigm in software engineering community, has attracted a lot of attention in M&S community for it raises the abstraction level and enables modelling with domain specific concepts. However, current DSM research in M&S community is not systematic and deep enough to provide generic support for simulation systems development, especially for complex simulation systems. To fulfill the full potential of DSM for M&S R&D, we need to combine the research fruits from both the M&S field and software engineering field. In this paper, We concentrate on using DSM for the development of complex simulation systems. Firstly We analyze the fundamental issues of applying DSM in complex M&S system development and list the obstacles which are not solved by current literature. Then domain-specific language (DSL) engineering research about the DSLs decomposition and composition in software engineering community are explicitly reviewed to gain insights, which enable us to propose a DSM-based framework for complex simulation systems development finally.
