Abstract

In Model-Driven Engineering, a number of external Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) for model manipulation have been proposed. However, they require users to learn new languages that, together with their execution performance, usability and tool support limitations, can significantly contribute to accidental complexities. In this paper, we present an alternative approach based on internal DSLs in Scala for model consistency checking and model transformations for the Eclipse Modeling Framework.
