Abstract

Domain specific modeling services, especially when made available to pipeline systems that transport oil and gas, constitute an interesting but very challenging domain. It poses fundamental problems for requirements engineering, software architecture, and their relationship. We propose a novel, domain-based framework for requirements engineering for this class of applications. The framework addresses the key concepts in this field, such as changing complexities for design platforms and domain specific requirements. We report experimental lessons learned on this framework and suggest requirements analysis products for documentation and future system design directions.
