Abstract

An analysis of existing models and programming languages shows the main problem in requirement engineering: the egreement between a well-defined basic model and a convenient language. One major problem in traditional analysis, design and implementation is the amount of work needed when going from one model to another. This is especially the case in the transformation of the analysis model into the design model. The problem is that the two models have two logically different representations.

The QUELLE project builds on the object-oriented system development paradigm and extends this work in two directions. The first direction is concerned with the utilization of a commercial ODBMS as the underlying data management mechanism. The second direction is concerned with enhancing the paradigm with the explicit modelling of a problem situation providing decision-supporting environment at the application level.
