A tutorial on DSL design

Contributor

Markus Voelter

The material is based on the book http://dslbook.org with several contributors.

Summary

This contribution provides a substantial conceptual framework for building DSLs. This includes a process and concrete techniques for DSL design. The design process covers the design dimensions expressivity, coverage, semantics, separation of concern, completeness, paradigms, modularity, and concrete syntax. A number of simple examples are used for illustration.
