Contemporary application-domain taxonomies

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We begin to identify the foundations needed for application-specific software research by examining the role and nature of current application taxonomies.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
