The ComBLA Method. The application of Domain Analysis principles to the Instructional Engineering context
Abstract
Domain Analysis (DA) is a common activity within software engineering conceived to
ease reusability and to facilitate the communication among different actors. This
methodology allows a priori-scoping of the problem by identifying those elements or
areas of interest that determine the development process of domain systems. The
ultimate purpose of DA is to treat systems of the domain as a whole that permits the
reuse of components and experiences. With the purpose of improving the development
of courseware, my PhD Thesis postulates an analysis method based on applying DA
principles to the instructional context. In this presentation, I will expose the main
characteristics of my research work, the results of applying this methodology to the
development of computer-based learning systems, and the enumeration of such
drawbacks and shortcoming that I have identified along my PhD Thesis. In addition, I
will talk about the research work that would want to tackle during my stay at L3D.

Bio
David Díez Cebollero received his PhD in Computer Science (2009) from the
Universidad Carlos III of Madrid. He also holds a Computer Science
Degree (1998) from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and a MSc in
Computer Science and Technology (2007) from the Universidad Carlos III
of Madrid. In addition, David is a Sun Certified Enterprise Architect
(SCEA) and has different certifications in software development.
David Díez was born in Madrid in 1976. After finishing his higher
education, he worked in software development for almost a decade.
David worked as a software engineer and project manager for different
international software companies. From 2003 to 2005, he was hired as
tenured associated teacher by the Computer Science Department at
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, synchronizing his professional and
academic careers. Finally, in 2005, he enrolled as a teacher assistant
in the DEI Laboratory research group at that university.
His research interests are technology support for learning systems,
teaching programming and Software Engineering. He has just started
different investigations about User-Centered Design and Web
Development, and their application in Emergency Management Information
Systems.
