results, and circle closer and closer to an optimal solution. People work

this way because (1) its is an effective and efficient way of working and (2)

we now have the computing horsepower and tool sets locally available to

do it. As the tool sets become more powerful, more executable, and more

domain specific, this will become the way we learn and the way we build

systems.

The executable domain-specific system models, with their varying lev-

els of abstraction, coupled with the executable process and project and

management environments will provide almost all of the learning environ-

continue to be taught generically but they will quickly give ...
