This third volume examines the basic principles and techniques of overall software development, from domains via requirements to software designs, advocating a novel approach to software engineering based on the adage "Before requirements can be formulated one must understand the application domain."
From the reviews:
"The presentation is focused on the fundamental ideas of domain engineering, requirements engineering and computer system engineering. ... The rigorous treatment and the author’s original style of viewing the software engineering approaches are important, outstanding features ... . is of special interest for both software engineering theorists and practitioners ... . The style is very concise, but at the same time very friendly. ... Undoubtedly, readers coming from a large variety of fields of interest will appreciate the novelty and usefulness ... ."
