Abstract: The exponential growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has changed our way of performing tasks in diverse domains such as economy, health, and higher education. Still the effectiveness of the ICT is not maximal due to lack in efficient Human Machine Interaction (HMI) design. Hence, several studies have emerged in the persuasive technologies science to address the limitation of the HMI design. Nevertheless, there are still lack of tools and models that enable better productivity management. Indeed, all persuasive system design models highlight the need for tests before implementing persuasive strategies. These tests are challenging as they are often time and resource consuming. Our research work addresses the question: At which extent Domain-Specific Languages can enhance productivity in Persuasive Design processes. These Languages can provide the expressiveness power needed either for designing and testing persuasion strategies. In this paper, we discuss our analysis of existing tools and models and we explore the possibilities and limitations of a Domain-Specific Language to be applied and/or adapted to persuasive technologies.
