Abstract
By a domain we mean a universe of discourse.
Typical examples are (partially) man-made universes of discourse - such as Air Traffic, Airports, Financial Services (banks, insurance companies, securities trading [brokers, traders, stock exchanges]), Health Care (hospitals etc.), Secure IT Systems (according to Intl. ISO/IEC Standard 17799), The Market (consumers, retailers, wholesalers, producers, “the supply chain”), Transportation (road, air, sea and/or rail transport), etc.
We shall outline how one might describe such (infrastructure component) domains, informally and formally - what the current descriptional limitations appear to be, and, hence, the prospects for future research as well as practice.
The current paper is based on Part IV, Chaps. 8-16 of [3]. The volume is one of [1,2,3].
The aim of this paper is to suggest a number of areas of domain theory and methodology research.
