Abstract

The purpose of this work is to present an annotation model for recording design rationale, and to describe ABCDE-DR, a prototype system which implements this model, in particular for the domain of object diagrams in software engineering. It supports: (i) semi-formal representation of DR, (ii) recording of design rationale in a semi-automatic manner through the reflection in action theory, and (iii) the integration between artifact and design rationale. Our model uses annotations as a means of cooperation among users and also representing design rationale information.
