Domain Specific Modeling Language for Early Warning System: Using IDEF0 for Domain Analysis
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.
