OOPSLA I: DSM Workshop 2007

I am currently in the Domain Specific Modeling 2007 workshop at the OOPSLA 2007 conference. Their are so many papers that the organizers had to make it a two-day workshop. Good sign for the whole MDD/DSL/DSM trend!

I am once again a little bit frustrated by the way universities work - they seem not to care what happens in the rest of the world (I had blogged about this last year) and are happy to reinvent wheels over and over again :-( Some event invent their own (really bad!) notation for showing concepts and their relationships, as opposed to using well-known notations (for example, UML class diagrams).

Otherwise it's very nice here. It's my first OOPSLA without a jet lag, since I had already spend a week in Seattle.  permalink
