Abstract

This paper provides a framework for concurrent abstract refinement activity for a product throughout its life cycle. Two distinct abstraction activities are discussed: interdomain and intradomain life cycle representation. Product process facilitation by active computer agents provides the vehicle for schema evolution via specialization.
