As part of HP Laboratories research into a systematic process for domain-specific reuse, we are exploring the notion of Domain-Specific Kits. Kits are comprised of compatible, domain-specific components, frameworks and glue languages, supported by a variety of technologies and tools, such as domain-specific languages, builders, generators and domain-tailored environments. We are particularly interested in hybrid kits, which combine both generative and compositional reuse, and domain-specific language tools to support the generative part. This paper describes our initial thinking and investigations.
Keywords: Reuse, kits, builders, generators, domain-specific languages,
hybrid reuse.
Workshop Goals: Learn more about domain analysis/engineering and
generative reuse methods; share and discuss information on our research
program.
Working Groups: Kits, generative reuse, domain engineering
