The goal of this paper is to identify techniques and notations of software and system design that can be used by informed applications experts, researchers or practitioners from any domain, who are collaborating with software experts to develop systems containing significant software components. We believe that this approach will lead to better communication between the software engineers and the applications experts, and thus to better quality software. In some cases, applications experts may develop applications unassisted by software experts using high-end tools and robust high end interfaces (for example, some database management systems). However, these tools may not enforce good design techniques and give rise to incorrect or inefficient systems. Here we explore how domain experts engaged in interdisciplinary projects may be aided with appropriate design procedures, constructs and notations to support the development of better quality software.
