Abstract

Holmes is a collection of tools that support the Sherlock domain analysis and engineering (DA&E) methodology. Holmes plans to improve on existing DA&E tools by providing a more usable interface and making better use of existing technologies and standards. Usability is achieved through automation and the use of a critiquing system. The tool is developed in Java to allow easier upgrading to new technologies and standards by updating a server to deploy new versions. Internal data exchange is achieved using the JavaSpaces API while external data exchange uses the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
