Third Workshop on Domain Engineering (DE@ER 2010)

Abstract

Domain Engineering is relevant to various fields in software and systems development, such as conceptual modeling, software product line engineering, domain-specific languages engineering, and so on. It deals with identifying, modeling, constructing, cataloging, and disseminating artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a domain, as well as with providing mechanisms, techniques, and tools to reuse and validate these artifacts in the development of particular systems. The aims of most up-and-coming methods and techniques in the area of domain engineering are to help reduce time-to-market, development cost, and projects risks on one hand, and help improve systems quality and performance on a consistent basis on the other hand. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
