Open publisher page 33 citations

Abstract

The authors examine domain modeling approaches from the viewpoint of their operational goals. Domain models are representations of an application domain that can be used for a variety of operational goals in support of specific software engineering tasks or processes. Some of the operational goals of domain modeling for software engineering are illustrated. A workshop on domain modeling was organized around operational goals and their resultant domain models and modeling methodologies. The workshop verified the importance of generalized meta-models and their use in instantiating domain knowledge into application domain models. Representation, domain classification and analysis, model development, instantiation evolution and validation, and knowledge structuring and inference are discussed. >
