Extending Design Environments to Software Architecture Design [PDF]

Automated Software Engineering, 1998
Domain-oriented design environments are cooperative problem-solving systems that support designers in complex design tasks. We present the facilities and architecture of Argo, a domain-oriented design environment for software architecture. Argo's architecture is motivated by the desire to achieve reuse and extensibility of the design environment.
