Foreword to the series
The Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) is the top academic institution in the
information processing field in Japan. It has about thirty thousand members and promotes a
variety of research and development activities covering all aspects of information processing and
computer science.
One of the major activities of the society is publication of its transactions containing papers
covering all the fields of information processing, including fundamentals, software, hardware, and
applications. Some of the papers are published in English, but because the majority are in Japanese,
the transactions are not suitable for non-Japanese wishing to access advanced information
technology in Japan. IPSJ therefore decided to publish a book series titled “Advanced Information
Processing Technology.”
The series consists of independent books, each including a collection of top quality papers, from
mainly Japanese sources of a selected area in information technology. The book titles were chosen
by the International Publication Committee of IPSJ so that they enable easy access to information
technology for international readers. Each book contains original papers and/or those updated or
translated from original papers appearing in the transactions or internationally qualified meetings.
Survey papers to aid understanding of the technology in Japan in a particular area are also
included.
As the chairman of the International Publication Committee of IPSJ, I sincerely hope that the
books in the series will improve communication between Japanese and non-Japanese specialists for
their mutual benefit.

Preface
This book “Domain Oriented Systems Development—Practices and Perspectives” is the second
collection of articles edited by the research group on domain analysis and modeling in IPSJ SigSE
(Information Processing Society of Japan, Special Interest Group of Software Engineering).
This research group has been studying the concept and applicability of domain oriented systems
development since 1993 until 2001. The research group published a book in Japanese language in
1996 summer, and published a book in English language in 1998 autumn that is the first collection
of articles by the research group, “Domain Oriented Systems Development—Principles and
Approaches”. The research group organized DOSD 1999 International Workshop in Asia-Pacific
Software Engineering Conference by IPSJ SigSE at Takamatsu, Japan in November 1999.
This book mainly includes the extended versions of several presentations by International
Workshop participants from Japan, Korea, Canada, and Austria and the qualified papers selected
by the research group. This book covers the wide range of activities on domain oriented systems
development, i.e., triplex schema of key concepts for domain oriented systems development, feature
oriented product line software engineering, software architecture for intelligent CAD, fully
independent component architecture, interrelationships between requirements engineering and
domain engineering, framework development and evolution, knowledge base development for
product configuration systems, domain specific repository and reuse for CAI, domain framework
based on three-view model, business process analysis using IDEF0, generation of architecture
product model.
The editors wish to thank IPSJ SigSE, former chairperson Prof. Tetsuo Tamai (University of
Tokyo) and present chairperson Prof. Mikio Aoyama (Nanzan University), for supporting the
research group on domain analysis and modeling.
