Abstract:

We believe that for developing applications in a specific domain,
the best kind of software component model to use is a domain-specific one.
We also believe that current component models intended for specific domains
are actually not domain-specific. In this paper we present an approach
for deriving domain-specific component models from the domain model
of a given domain, and show why such a component model is better
than existing models that are not domain-specific.
