Several papers covering DSL design issues such as DomainEngineering are discussed in the DSLAnnotatedBibliography. This page contains several DSLBibliographyAdditions concerning design and methodological issues. Feel free to add your own pointers to other papers of interest (preferably with summary / annotation)!

D. S. Wile, Supporting the DSL Spectrum. Journal of Computing and Information Technology, Volume 9, Number 4, 2001

Provides an overview of ways to set up a DSL, ranging from direct implementation in a general purpose language, to COTS-based approaches using XML or MS Access.

The DSLAnnotatedBibliography emphasizes the use of ReverseEngineering in order to arrive at a domain model. SpencerRugaber has written a paper The use of domain knowledge in ProgramUnderstanding which addresses this topic.
