Abstract

Frameworks are complex, and one of the biggest problems with most frameworks is just learning how to use them. In order to achieve the highest degree of reusability and extensibility, frameworks are built as sophisticated object-oriented artifacts and, therefore, it is not easy to understand the design concepts, commitments and decisions involved in the solutions.Within the overall goal of FrameDoc to alleviate the aforementioned learning effort by means of explicit knowledge representation and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), this paper concentrates on the domain analysis process and the acquisition of knowledge about the framework.The proposed model consists of: a domain model, a model of the framework design, and connections between them. Supporting tools for building the model are also described in the paper.
