Towards Supporting SPL Engineering in Low-Code Platforms using a DSL Approach
summary
Presents a non‑intrusive, partially automated pipeline that deduces a platform metamodel from exported models and generates a low‑code DSL (Xtext) plus an integrated variability DSL, implemented with Eclipse EMF, Xtext and ATL. Applied to OMNIA for an order‑management SPL: two‑month effort, domain model produced by platform consultants, and end users create applications with just a few lines of variability code to generate models for import. Limits: whole‑model import and MDE expertise needed, plans to improve metamodel deduction and support finer‑grained integration.
