Achieving Extensibility Through Product-Lines and Domain-Specific Languages: A Case Study

ions that are fundamental to simulators. We present preliminary results that show how our PLA and DSL synergistically produce a more flexible way of implementing state-machine-based simulators than is possible with a pure Java implementation.
