Soft Domain Driven Design For Information Systems Development

This paper presents an application and usage of Soft Domain Driven Design Frameworkfor information systems development process. The framework use SSM as a guiding methodology within which we have embedded a sequence of design tasks based on the UML leading to the implementation of a software system using the Naked Objects framework..This framework have beenused in action research projects that have involved the investigation and modelling of business processes using object-oriented domain models and the implementation of software systems based on those domain models. Within this framework, Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is used as a guiding methodology to explore the problem situation and to develop the domain model using UML for the given business domain. The frameworkis proposed and evaluated through differentpractical case studies and through teaching, to show different practices and evaluation of the framework in different business domains. We argue that there are advan¬tages from combining and using techniques from different methodologies in this way for Information Systems Development. The framework is overviewed and justified as a multi methodology based on Mingersmulti meth¬odology ideas. The framework is evaluated through different real case studies and “The students association will be presented here: SAS”. The application and evaluation of the framework through development and teaching is presented and the results show that this combination is attractive for ISD.
