The Impact of Domain-Specific Languages for Assembling Web Applications

vision is to enable domain experts to directly contribute to the development effort by autonomously specifying parts of the solution. A set of DSLs and notations derived from our experiences covering central concerns of Web applications is presented: navigation and structuring of application domains, data interaction using Web services, and Web-based process guidance. Web applications can thus be built in an evolutionary manner by composing building blocks whose behavior is configured with DSL programs. Our approach emphasizes conceiving communication with stakeholders and Web application development in a holistic way.
