Abstract
In the present paper, we will propose a new Object-Oriented (hereafter OO) modeling technique that has been developed especially for the Domain Users (DUs), who are defined to be the specialists of a certain domain except the computer science/technology. Two fundamental tables have been developed One is the OO element kind table and the other is the OO internal constitution element table for each element kind to extract out of the target world The DU can make use of these two modeling tables by mutually referring with each other. The focusing/extracting/naming processes of the modeling elements out of the target world are explicitly and formally designated by the both tables and four auxiliary diagrams in detail. Therefore the users can find every modeling element and its constitutions without fail. To confirm the validity and the usability of this technique some modeling examples with hundreds/thousand lines size are presented, and the modeling experiments by three DUs in the field of the fluid dynamics have been performed. The results show that this modeling technique constitutes the explicitly formalized, detailed and routinized technique for the sake of DUs Throughout the estimations of these modeling examples/experiments, we can conclude that this technique realizes rather good usability, and provides the simple modeling method to the DUs.
