We present an initial framework resulting from our ongoing
research concerning modeling strategies. Our approach is rooted in a subjectivist,
communication-based view on modeling. Under this approach,
models are viewed as the result of modeling dialogues, which are a specialized
sub-type of the diverse conversations that constitute a system
development conversation at large. By focussing on the process of modeling
instead of properties of models or modeling languages, we expect,
eventually, to be able to better understand and deal with some currently
problematic aspects of modeling, in particular model validation
in context. We sketch plans for an environment for studying modeling
conversations and strategies.
As the title suggests, the current status of our research efforts are at the
level where we have an initial understanding of the fundamental workings
of the playing field. In future research, the actual strategies will make
their appearance.
