Abstract

This paper presents an exploratory study in the context of composition of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs). It aims evaluating a composition method using Ecore-based DSMLs based on xText tool. The study was performed applying the method to modelling a composition of DSMLs from the domain of controlled experiments in software engineering. The study consists of four different DSMLs, whose ultimate goal is to generate executable workflows for each experiment subject. The study results present: (i) new adaptations that can be incorporated into the method in order to enable its application to the xText context; and (ii) a brief comparison of the method application using xText and XML based approaches.
