Abstract

Domain-specific generators will increasingly rely on graphical specification languages-applets-for declarative specifications of target applications. Applets will provide front-ends to generators and related tools to produce customized code on demand. Critical to the success of this approach will be domain-specific design wizards, tools that guide users in their selection of components for constructing particular applications. In this paper, we present the P3 ContainerStore applet, its generator and design wizard
