Generative components for hybrid systems tools

Generative techniques, while normally associated with programming languages or code generation, may also be used to produce non-executable artifacts (e.g., configuration or toolchain artifacts). Coupled with domain-specific modeling, generative techniques provide a way to consolidate toolchains and complex domains into a relatively compact space, by providing generators that produce artifacts in the appropriate semantic domain. This paper describes the motivation and usage of one such environment, in the domain of hybrid systems, as well as discussion and goals for future research.
