  Domain Oriented Software Analysis and Engineering Environment 
  (DOSAEE)

Abstract:

To provide a comprehensive domain modeling and architecture 
design environment, SPS proposes the development of the Domain 
Oriented Software Analysis and Engineering Environment (DOSAEE). 
DOSAEE integrates multi-representation and multi-view modeling 
and analysis. A particular emphasis of DOSAEE is the ability to 
instantiate specific system instances through the specialization 
and adaptation of domain models and architectures. Our approach 
is an innovative application of object-oriented modeling 
techniques for capturing critical system functional properties 
and constraints. The toolset supports a continuous refinement of 
models, architectures leading to the identification of key 
architectural elements. These elements define the architectural 
framework around which one can engineer reusable assets. Our 
approach enforces architectural constraints throughout the 
design phases ensuring that refinements do not violate higher 
level system constraints. The rigor imposed by our toolset has 
significant benefits for the development of large scale computer 
systems, complex aerospace applications, and mission and safety 
critical systems.
DOSAEE is a user-customizable, multi-paradigm domain modeling 
and architecture representation environment that can be used to 
engineer domain models and architectures for a family of systems 
and to apply them successfully in the engineering of specific 
system instances.

The ability to engineer new systems through the reuse of 
existing proven software assets has direct application to NASA 
systems, as well as advancing the competitiveness of U.S. 
industry. Products based on this work would target systems 
engineers in a large cross section of the Government and 
commercial market sectors. Users of the technology include NASA, 
DOD, FAA, Dept. of Commerce, and commercial systems houses.
