Oil and Gas Pipeline Design Management System: A Case Study for Domain-Specific Modeling

摘要

The intent of this paper is to define a common case study for the domain-specific modeling research community. The domain of the case study is oil and gas pipeline design management systems, i.e., systems that help in identifying, handling, and controlling a pipeline design task by coordinating the communication between all component models and dimensions involved in handling the design, by allocating and managing resources, and by providing access to relevant design-related information to domain experts. This document contains general informal requirements for a pipeline design management systems (PDMSs), a feature model for the PDMS product line, and a domain model for the PDMS, as well as an informal physical pipeline model of the PDMS. Domain specific modeling researchers who want to demonstrate the power of their technique can hence apply the approach in other related areas at the most appropriate level of abstraction in the domain of pipeline engineering.
