Abstract

This paper presents a framework supporting collaborative efforts between the designer and developer of software-intensive systems. The framework realizes a two-layered meta-tool concept: a powerful specification language in the form of a grammar for the designer at the upper layer; and a generative mechanism for generating domain-specific design languages at the lower layer. The paper introduces the spatial graph grammar formalism as the specification language and the generation mechanism. We also describe successful and potential application domains of the two-layered framework
