Paper Title
Soft Domain Driven Design for Information Systems Development
Abstract
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 advantages 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 methodology 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.
