Video on using Oslo and DSL's for testing trading systems.
(Thanks to Terry for the link)
I would love to explore using a DSL to have our traders register lightweight queries with our CEP system.
Notable about this use case is their use of Microsoft's CCR.

Microsoft Oslo and our App
For some reason, Microsoft seems to think that I am an "influencer" in Wall Street, and that plying me with large steaks and bottles of wine will make me happy (they are certainly correct in the second assumption).
Last night, I had a very nice dinner with Robert Wahbe and Steven Martin of Microsoft. They are large in the Connected Systems Division, which is the group that is overseeing the development of the mysterious Microsoft Oslo product/framework. We had a happy group that included the famous DonXML, Ambrose from Infragistics, Bill Zack, and a charming lady from Waggoner Edstrom whose job it was to make sure that Robert and Steven did not disclose too many of Microsoft's secrets (although I ended up telling them a few little ditties about Microsoft that they were not aware of!).
I have been sworn to secrecy, so I am going to regurgitate what little known facts about Oslo has been leaked out through various blogs. Oslo contains three things:
1) A new language that enables you to create your own Domain-Specific Languages (DSL).
2) A visual modeling tool.
3) A repository for models that you build.
What would we do with Oslo in our CEP system?
We would like our traders to be able to eventually build their own queries/models, and "inject" them into our CEP system. We do not want the traders coding in Coral8's CCL or any other streaming SQL language for that matter. And, we want the traders to play in our "sandbox" without hurting themselves or the other users of the system.
If we could create a high-level DSL that, through the use of some sort of "adapter", was translated into Streaming SQL, then we could give that to the traders. A visual modeling tool would allow them to easily construct models (remember how enthusiastic I was about Yahoo Pipes a few months ago?).
Let's see what Microsoft comes up with, and how soon it will be until Oslo is ready to use on a trading floor.
