It has two steps: 1) Domain Modeling, to define and model a domain of applications; and 2) Framework Construction, to design and implement a framework for the domain defined in the previous step.
It should be clear, however, that the adoption of an object-oriented approach and the use of structured models borrowed from probabilistic risk analysis to investigate the problem only represents a research design choice, and not a prescribed domain of application.
It simply extends a small part of its methods to a new domain of application.
In general, abstract laws predict and explain only within a given domain of application, and only under ideal conditions.
Due to a large domain of applications, a number of experimental and theoretical studies have been concerned with the flow characterization for heavy crude oil flow through porous media.
However, it is less ontologically demanding than the modal approach, since it assumes a clearly limited domain of application.
However, research conducted by Eames et al. [7] has a more generic domain of application in food refrigeration systems, because apart of being able to simulate energy consumption and other relevant variables, it may also evaluate the behavior of that consumption when varying some input parameters.
Note that behaviors could be more complex (they could include many actions) in a more complex domain of application.
A second main domain of application is biopsy guidance with needle-like probes [ 4, 5].
Today semi-active suspensions are used over a vast domain of applications.
Because of its configurable architecture and ability to connect with other devices, it may be used in a large domain of applications.
