Operator-based coordination between heterogeneous DSLs: Case of telecommunication network supervision

Coordination between heterogeneous DSLs is needed more and more to overcome complexity of modern systems involving many business domains. This article gives a definition of heterogeneity, coordination and a classification of possible relationships between DSLs. Then, propose coordination operators to resolve heterogeneity accordingly with precedent works. As illustrative example, the paper presents a telecommunication network supervision system where two different DSLs: DSL ANS.1 and DSL supervision need to be coordinated, an operator of structural mapping has been used to coordinate between the two DSLs. © 2016 IEEE.
