Abstract

For most applications, in particular data-intensive ones, dialog modeling makes little sense without a domain model. Since domain models usually are developed and used outside the dialog modeling activity, it is better to integrate dialog modeling languages with existing domain modeling languages and tools, than inventing your own. This chapter describes how the Diamodl language, editor, and runtime have been integrated with the Eclipse Modeling Framework.

Notes

  1. 1.

    More information is available at Diamodl’s home page: http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~hal/research/diamodl.

  2. 2.

    The computation may also have side-effects, besides the resulting value.

  3. 3.

    A newer and more feature-rich option is Ecore Tools (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Ecore_Tools).
