An object-oriented domain analysis and modeling method for software reuse

Abstract

Describes an object-oriented domain analysis and modeling method for analyzing and modeling a family of systems. This method addresses the issues of how to represent an application domain by means of multiple views, and how to represent similarities and variations in the domain. The method also supports an approach for generating a target system specification from the domain model, given the requirements of an individual target system. The goal is to provide a more effective way of managing system evolution and addressing software reuse from a generation technology perspective. The method is illustrated by means of an example.<>
