Template Based Code Generation Techniques and Algorithms for Specific XML Based Models

摘要

The software development with Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) brings lots of benefits over classical methods of software development in terms of reducing coding errors, excessive focus on design and increasing development speed. The code is automatically generated according to specific DSM rules. Code generation in accordance with the specific model definition is vital when considering a software development scheme for a safety critical embedded system. The concept of a domain model in our approach is an XML file that contains a novel visual definition of DSM that based on logics or graphics. This paper presents our approach by explaining the domain-specific model language and the key idea of code generation in reference to the definitions based on template based code generation. Finally, it is followed by depicting the generation algorithms for these specific model definitions with respect to model types.
