Toward a Domain-Specific Modeling Technique for Oil-Drilling Engineering Applications

Applications for oil-drilling engineering simulation are characterized with heterogeneous data and resources, complicated business processes and changing business requirements from users. It is of practical significance and great value to find out a business modeling technique for the class of oil-drilling engineering applications. In this paper, we proposed a goal-tree modeling technique for domain-specific software. This domain-specific model consists of special objects wrapping business goal and business-logic. It offers the benefits of extensibility, modularity and reusability. A real case, simulation system of oil-drilling engineering, is given to illustrate the effectiveness and practicability.
