DAREonline: A Web-Based Domain Engineering Tool

DAREonline is a web-based tool for domain engineering. It supports the DARE framework in a centralized platform-independent environment. Our approach leverages concepts of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to aggregate data and functionality from diverse sources that can be helpful in domain engineering. In this paper, we describe DAREonline's1 architecture and implementation, and its use in a graduate course on software design and quality. Initial results indicate that DAREonline can be a valuable resource for domain analysts and can achieve acceptance at similar levels to DARE COTS.
