Domain models are representations of areas of knowledge describing phenomena, requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The creation of domain models is challenging. In this tutorial we will review some ways to automate domain modeling and discuss the boundaries of automation in this context. We will concentrate on an ontological and conceptual approach, called SOVA, which primarily examines domain behaviors.

The main goals of the tutorial are:

1. To expose the audience to existing studies that deal with (semi-)automatic domain modeling
2. To introduce an ontological and conceptual approach to conduct behavioral domain modeling
3. To discuss the benefits and deficiencies of automatic domain modeling
