Domain Specific Modeling Language for Early Warning System: Using IDEF0 for Domain Analysis
Syed Imran, Franclin S. Foping, John Feehan, Ιoannis M. Dokas · 2010
Domain analysis plays a significant role in the design phase of domain specific modeling languages (DSML). The Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF0) is proposed as a method for domain analysis. We implemented IDEF0 and managed to specify reusable domain specific language artifacts in a case study on water treatment plants safety. The observations suggest that IDEF0 not only examines the technical aspects of the domain but considers also its socio-technical aspects; a characteristic listed as DSML requirement in the case study.
