Abstract
During the last five years, the Switching and Access Solutions Group of Lucent Technologies has made a considerable investment in domain engineering. Much of this work has been motivated by a desire to reduce the software development interval. The use of domain engineering has helped to decrease considerably the time required to design and implement software. In this paper, we examine four domain engineering projects. We find that each project was guided by two sets of criteria for success — one addressing the concerns of good engineering practice and the other addressing the special needs of technology transfer. The five critical attributes of new technology identified by E. M. Rogers's Diffusion of Innovations — relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability — play an important role in domain engineering. In the projects we examine, attention to these attributes helped shape the final products and the processes by which they were created.
