The tutorial will look at both tactical and strategic issues. Tactically, we will examine the use of language on the project to refine and communicate models and strengthen the connection with the implementation, and iterative redesign and refactoring aimed at deepening model insight (in addition to making technical improvements to the code). Strategically, we will look at context mapping and distilling the core domain. These are the decisions where design and politics often intersect.

The tutorial will include presentation and discussion of selected patterns from the book "Domain-Driven Design," Addison-Wesley 2004, and reenactments of domain modeling scenarios.
