Abstract

The present work describes an approach to simplify the development of scientific applications. The approach aims at hiding accidental complexities encountered when developing this kind of applications. This work focuses on the development of tools using concepts of domain engineering and domain-specific modeling which are modern software engineering methods for automating the development of software. As a proof of concept a tool that automates the development of Grid applications is presented as well as lessons learned from the initial development of the tool. This work is an attempt to contribute to the long term research goal of empowering users to create complex scientific applications without depending on the expertise of support teams or on hand-crafted solutions.
