Domain Engineering
The course is about domain modelling and how to transform domain models into domain and interface requirements. The following facets of domain modelling will be covered: the business processes, the intrinsics, the support technologies, the manage-ment & organisation, the rules & regulations (scripts and license languages), and the human behaviour. The lectures will exemplify excerpts of models of transportation (incl. ailways), financial services, air traffic, etc.
We shall relate two (of three) parts of requirements models to domain models: the domain
requirements - which are the requirements that can be expressed solely in terms of the
terms of the domain models, and the interface requirements - which are those requirements that can only be expressed using terms both of the domain and the machine: the hardware and software being required. For domain requirements we briefly sketch the
domain-to-requirements algebra of projection, instantiation, determination, extension and
fitting.
