Domain Modeling Approaches in IS Engineering

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of domain modeling approaches and techniques used in information systems (IS) engineering. IS engineering is an area where different types of domain models were used as a basis for software development long before the name of model driven approach and model driven architecture was coined (MDA, 2009; Miller & Mukerji, 2003). IS engineering views not only software, but also requirements and domain models, as systemic artifacts that can be traced, analyzed, and reused in different systems development tasks.
