Domain and Application Engineering
Recently several organizations have promoted the idea that systems should be developed using domain analysis to generate a domain-wide model of requirements, followed by a domain-wide architecture, followed by domain-applicable software components. This activity is called domain engineering. A complementary activity, application engineering, then takes place to produce the requirements document, design, and software components for a specific member of the family. Application engineering can be linked to product lining, when various similar software products are created from domain-applicable software components.
