Abstract: In this paper, we apply design space decomposition to Domain-Specific Modeling Languages. This work, while building on previous work on domain-specific modeling and design space analysis, contributes to further understanding of the role of behavioral spaces. It introduces a modeling strategy originating from information theory and combinatorics for the analysis of behavioral semantics of DSMLs with the use of design space analysis.

Keywords: domain-specific modeling languages, design spaces, cubic graphs, semantics
