Abstract

As the support is increasing for textual domain-specific languages (DSL), the reconstruction of visual models from the generated textual artifacts has also come into focus. The state-of-the-art bidirectional approaches support reversible text generation from models using single syntax mapping. However, even these tools have not gone such far to facilitate the synchronization between models and generated artifacts. This paper presents the importance of synchronization and how these mappings can enable syntactic reconciliation for custom DSLs. Our approach provides algorithms for supporting incremental DSL-driven software development, which enables the freedom of choosing between the textual or visual editing of artifacts. It depends on the developer which representation is more effective for her/him at a specific moment.
