Towards A Language Interface Design to Coordinate Between Heterogeneous DSMLs

Systems became more and more complex and so their development process. Consequently, various teams of experts collaborate to design complex systems according to several viewpoints. Each team has actually a specific vocabulary to describe its concerns and thus uses a distinct Domain Specific Modeling Language (DSML). Due to this accidental heterogeneity, designers end up face to new challenges to be raised. The coordination between heterogeneous DSMLs is indeed one of them. To achieve this goal, authors propose to use an interface-oriented design based approach, a mature concept in software engineering, but still not yet very used in software language engineering. To illustrate this approach two DSMLs are used: an Indoor Service Transport Language and an Internet of Things Language.
