Domain-driven design

Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to software development for complex needs by connecting the implementation to an evolving model. The premise of domain-driven design is the following: - wikipedia

- placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic; - basing complex designs on a model of the domain; - initiating a creative collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively refine a conceptual model that addresses particular domain problems.

The term was coined by Eric Evans in his book of the same title.
