Multi-Linguistic Aspects of Heterogeneous Meta-Programming in Web Applications

In this chapter, we will discuss the multi-linguistic aspects of generalization in designing meta-specifications using heterogeneous meta-programming. Multi-linguistic aspects were outlined abstractly in the framework for generalization presented in Chap. 13. The aim of this chapter is to extend the discussion by presenting more details. As it was stated in the framework, there are domains which require using more than two domain languages to present domain functionality. The best example of such a domain is web-based applications. Thus, we will illustrate the approach using web-based components.
