What is Domain-Specific Modeling

• Captures domain knowledge (as opposed to code)
• Uses domain abstractions
• Applies domain concepts and rules as modeling
  constructs
• Narrow down the design space
• Focus on single range of products
• Lets developers design products using domain
  terms
• Apply familiar terminology
• Solve the RIGHT problems!
• Solve problems only ONCE!
