Towards automatic problem decomposition
Zhi Gang Jin, Lin Liu · 2006
In this paper, we propose a conceptual description schema based on the Problem Frames (PF) approach, which treats environment as a first-class concept. Requirements are defined as problem descriptions in terms of the environment model. Thus, knowledge about the environment can be used to facilitate the derivation of software specifications from requirements. Heuristic rules that help structuring software problems are given. Major idea of the proposed approach is illustrated with a simple real world example.
