A Vision on a New Generation of Software Design Environments

Paper in proceeding, 2015

In this paper we illustrate our vision for a new generation software design environment. This environment aims to generalize existing modeling tools in several ways – some key extensions are: integration of rigorous and informal notations, and support for multiple modes of interaction. We describe how we can consolidate the environment by integrating it with other software engineering tools. Furthermore, we describe some methods which could permit the environment to provide a flexible collaborative medium and have a practical and inspiring user experience.
