Abstract

This paper discusses possibilities to realize constructs of a domain specific model (DSL) on the concrete development and runtime platform Ibykus AP. Here software engineering takes advantage of a combination of generative techniques and stable so-called DSL interpreters. These techniques to implement model driven software development (MDSD) concepts can improve the flexibility, the quality and the performance of the development of large application systems. Presenting the DSL interpreter approach underlying techniques of generic repository structures to hold the software model as well as runtime configuration information are discussed. The importance of an associated clear and well structured interface and tuning alternatives for the repository are pointed out. Finally the paper concludes with an outlook to future research work.
