A method for domain specific language design includes, with a physical computing system, receiving from a user, a number of annotations for at least one of a set of statements within a problem domain, the annotations identifying a set of elements within the statement. The method further includes forming a set of grammar rules for the problem domain based on the annotations, and parsing the set of statements using the set of grammar rules.

Domain specific language design

A computing system includes a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to: receive from a user, a number of annotations for at least one of a set of statements within a problem domain, the annotations identifying a set of elements within the statement; form a set of grammar rules for the problem domain based on the annotations; and parse the set of statements using the set of grammar rules.

Techniques for generating complex event processing rules in a controlled natural language are provided. The techniques include obtaining one or more vocabularies that encompass a set of one or more noun and verb concepts, dynamically building an inheritance hierarchy of one or more named vocabulary concepts from the one or more vocabularies, parsing a controlled natural language input textual statement by using one or more names and the inheritance hierarchy to identify one or more temporal concepts and one or more complex event processing concepts, and converting the controlled natural language input textual statement to a complex event processing language statement by generating a representation of a lexical structure of the controlled natural language input textual statement that contains a reference to each identified temporal and complex event processing concept.
