Outline of Final Research Achievements

Abstraction plays an important role in software development. However, it is not easy to decide which concern should be described in a design model and which concern should be written in code. An abstraction level of a design specification may change as a result of reconsidering the balance between design and code. We proposed the notion of fluid design abstraction, its support tool iArch, and software patterns for abstraction. An appropriate abstraction level can be captured by the convergence of fluid moving between design modeling and program implementation.
