Domain-oriented design environments

It is argued that domain-oriented design environments (DODEs) provide a complementary goal for the future of software engineering to the approaches pursued with knowledge-based software assistant systems (KBSAs). The DODE extends the KBSA framework by emphasizing a human-centered and domain-oriented approach facilitating communication about evolving systems among all stakeholders. The author briefly discusses the major challenges for software systems, develops a conceptual framework to address these problems, and illustrates the contributions of the KBSA and DODE approaches towards solving these problems.<<ETX>>
