DOMAIN MODELING WITH OBJECT-PROCESS METHODOLOGY
Arnon Sturm, Dov Dori, Onn M. Shehory · 2006
Domain engineering can simplify the development of software systems in specific domains. During domain analysis, the first step of domain engineering, the domain is modeled in a reusable manner. Most domain analysis approaches suffer from low accessibility, limited expressiveness, and weak formality. In this paper we present a formal, accessible and expressive approach to domain analysis. We do that by extending Object-Process Methodology (OPM) to support domain analysis. We performed an experiment to verify that the proposed extension improves the model quality compared to quality arrived at without the extension. Our experimental results show that, when presented with a set of requirements, subjects that used OPM with the domain analysis extension arrived at a system model which is better than the system model arrived at by subjects that used OPM alone.
