Whole Platform

The Whole Platform is a technology for engineering the production of software. We think that programming is an activity concerning the development of domain languages; so, we provide a Language Workbench for developing new languages, manipulating them using domain notations and transforming them using a generative model driven approach. Using the Whole Platform, the problem domain experts can work together with the programming experts for the development of software products. The languages boundled with the Whole Platform include: - modeling languages; - query and transformation languages; - integration languages for grammars, XSD, RDB and Java libraries; and popular languages such as Java, Objective C and XML. The Whole Platform makes the transition smoother for the developers who prefer to code the domain knowledge as libraries instead of domain specific languages. The Platform, in fact, includes both an Eclipse based Language Workbench and a Java based Language Library. All the expressive power of domain languages is also available in their Java coded counterpart generated on top of our Language Framework. Furthermore the Whole Platform is written with extensive use of well-known Design Patterns.
