Abstract :
Software languages play an important role in software development. Software languages are the artificial languages that are used to describe software systems at various abstraction levels. They are applied to describe requirements and designs for software, definitions of software architectures, and implementations of software systems. A huge variety of different technological spaces exist to describe languages: programming languages, software modeling languages, data modeling languages, domain-specific languages, ontology language, and others.
