Our paper for Model Management challenge at ACM Models is accepted!

We show how a Domain-Specific Modeling enables collaborative work, 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 of modeling, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, keeps artefacts 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 and provides 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Unlock Collaboration with Domain-Specific Languages!
Ever wonder how to bridge the gap between developers and domain experts? Starting today at DDD Europe 2025 a hands-on session … let’s see how it goes. The plan is to create a language that drives communication, code generation and more #dddeurope

Do you know how much code is needed to cut grass this summer? Answer: 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟎.𝟓 𝗚𝗕. (The size of the software upgrade: 527MB)

I’m happy with the device, but it keeps me wondering: 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀? Flying to the moon took only 𝟑𝟔𝗞 (but that was 16-bit word length, to be fair).

I had a great opportunity to contribute to tooling support for ISO 21434: Cybersecurity Risk Management for Road Vehicles. Excited to share the part of this work now publicly available: lnkd.in/d_x7qaa5. Domain-Specific Modeling solution supports natively cybersecurity modeling, metrics & reporting

One cool new feature in coming 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁+ 𝟱.𝟲 is that while you modify the hierarchy of metamodel your model data follows it automatically. No need for manual updates or creating transformations.

I’m honored to share that The Association for Information Systems has recognized our work on MetaEdit+ with 𝐀𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝. It would not have been possible without hundreds of language engineers using MetaEdit+: 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮. metacase.com/news/aisawar...

I have to share this—it's one of the most complex symbol definitions I’ve seen: Fig shows a notation for an element containing tens of subsymbols. Each of them is retrieved from a symbol library using a generator.

Result is showing performance data in models of MetaEdit+. Beyond boxes & lines 😉

Beyond icon and link diagrams 😉. Research shows that concrete syntax matters—it is crucial for notations to align with the real-world concepts they represent.
Check e.g. these four others:

Thanks. Creating a domain-specific language is one way to align problem domain & solution domain closer. In the zdone article there are 3 cycles to identify a good abstraction, but that is just for the article. Some customers have illustrated Twin Peaks model similarly as VTT in CodeGen conference:
