Abstract
Model-driven engineering (MDE) advocates the use of domain-specific languages (DSLs) for describing all kinds of systems, but so far DSLs are mostly developed for applications in the software development domain. Because of that, in simulation-based physics, the same experiments have to be described repeatedly in order to use different simulation methods or to verify the results with real-world experiments. This lack of abstraction concerning the experiment description compromises productivity, flexibility, and scientific knowledge transfer. We present a model-driven workbench for developing optical nanostructures, i.e., an integrated set of tools to enable physicists to comfortable describe experiments in their own DSL that abstracts from the way the experiment is performed. We show that existing metamodel-based MDE technologies can be used to automatically generate such tooling from the artifacts that describe a DSL.
