[comp.software-eng] SEE -- adaptable methods

rds@goanna.cs.rmit.oz.au (Rowan David Stevens) (03/23/91)

Thanks to all those people who have and are still responding to my original
message on Software Engineering Environment (SEE) papers.  I am currently 
compiling a reference list from the replies and some recent "journal hunts" and 
will distribute it back to the net in a couple of days time.

However, I now have another request:
	
	Area:	Adaptable Methods in Software Engineering Environments
	
	Has anyone come across work on abstract representations of analysis and
	design modelling constructs; for example - decomposing say the JSD 
	method down into a group of implementable primitives which describe the
	"fundamentals" of the method.  The primitives capture the abstract 
	representation of the method but these can be manipulated to produce
	domain-oriented methods to match a specific user's taste in icons,
	etc.  Furthermore, the primitives would describe the method, not how
	to apply it to build an application. 

Any pointers greatly appreciated, summary will be posted to the net if 
sufficient response.

Regards --> Rowan Stevens
