%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Domain Engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with building
reusable assets, such as specification sets, patterns, and components, in
specific domains. A domain in this context can be defined as an area of
knowledge that uses common concepts for describing phenomena,
requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The purpose of domain
engineering is to identify, model, construct, catalog, and disseminate
artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a
domain. Although applicable to different engineering disciplines, domain
engineering methods has been recently receiving special attention in the
information systems era. Some of the reasons for this interest are the
increasing variability of applications, the need to obtain and share
expertise in different, evolving domains, and the trend towards reusing IS
artifacts and knowledge about them.

Domain engineering addresses two main layers: the domain layer, which
deals with the representation of domain elements, and the application
layer, which deals with information systems artifacts related to the
domain. More specifically, information systems applications, their
components, and their descriptions are included in the application layer,
whereas their common and variable characteristics, as can be described,
for example, by ontologies or emerging standards, are generalized and
presented in the domain layer.

Similarly to information systems engineering, domain engineering includes
three main activities: domain analysis, domain design, and domain
implementation, which are carried out in the domain layer. However, domain
engineering also supports inter-layer activities, namely interactions that
exist between the domain and application layers. Specifically, domain
layer artifacts may be used for creation and validation of the
specifications of application layer artifacts, while applications may be
generalized into domain artifacts in a process of knowledge elicitation.

Domain engineering as a discipline has practical significance as it deals
with methods and techniques that may help reduce time-to-market, product
cost, and projects risks on one hand, and improve product quality and
performance on the other hand.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in the area of domain engineering in order to define the
topic, identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions,
and discuss visions for the future of the area. In particular, the
workshop will focus on the interaction between information systems
engineering and domain engineering.

TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to:

· Conceptual foundations of domain engineering

· Methods and techniques to support domain engineering

· Ontology engineering

· Development and management of domain assets

· Domain-driven requirements engineering

· Application derivation (i.e., how to use domain artifacts in the
application layer)

· Variability management

· Domain engineering techniques in support of reuse, validation, and
knowledge management

· Theoretical and empirical evaluation of domain engineering methods and
techniques

· Case studies and practice reports related to domain engineering

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to
the purpose of the workshop. The workshop will accept three types of
submissions:

1. Completed Research – this type of papers should include evidence to
support the contribution (e.g. in the form of data analysis, proof of
concept, or case studies) and discussion on research findings and their
theoretical and practical significance. The paper should not exceed 5,000
words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted completed research
papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation (including questions
& answers) during the workshop.

2. Research-In-Progress – this type of papers can report on research that
is under way with preliminary results available at the time of the
conference. The paper should not exceed 2,500 words (excluding references
and appendices). Accepted research-in-progress papers will be allocated 15
minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the
workshop.

3. Position papers – this type of papers can include lucid and
well-supported statements and suggestions on domain engineering, e.g.,
directions for the discipline, open questions, criticism on the
state-of-the-art, and novel approaches. Accepted position papers will be
allocated 15 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers)
during the workshop.

All three types of papers may refer to theoretical and/or practical
issues.

Papers should be written in Springer LNCS style (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). The paper type
(completed research, research-in-progress, or a position paper) should
explicitly be indicated after the paper title. In addition, the paper
abstract should not be longer than 150 words. As the workshop will apply
double-blind reviews process, the papers should not indicate their
authors. Papers should be submitted through the on-line system at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=decaise2009.

PUBLICATION
The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the
main topics, on its quality and on the potential to stimulate discussion
in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the online
CAiSE’2009 workshop proceedings. In addition, authors of some selected
papers will be asked to consider submitting revised version of the papers
as chapters in a book on Domain Engineering to be edited by the workshop
co-chairs and published by Springer.
