Creating a Domain Specific Modelling Method for Ambient Assistance

Domain specific modelling languages (DSMLs) have gained increasing popularity: they are convenient, support the productivity of modelling, and help to increase model quality and comprehensibility. Some work has been published about how to use or evaluate a DSML. In contrast to that, there is hardly any guideline for the DSML creation process and almost none for creating a Domain Specific Modelling Method (DSMM). This paper aims at contributing to fill that gap: it introduces a process for creating a DSMM. For illustration it uses a modelling language that has been created for the domain of Ambient Assistance domain.
