A logical disk, logical volume or virtual disk (VD [1] or vdisk [2] for short) is a virtual device that provides an area of usable storage capacity on one or more physical disk drive(s) in a computer system. The disk is described as logical or virtual because it does not actually exist as a single physical entity in its own right. The goal of ...
Domain-driven design (DDD) is a major software design approach, [1] focusing on modeling software to match a domain according to input from that domain's experts. [2] DDD is against the idea of having a single unified model; instead it divides a large system into bounded contexts, each of which have their own model.
The drive letter syntax chosen for CP/M was inherited by Microsoft for its operating system MS-DOS by way of Seattle Computer Products' (SCP) 86-DOS, and thus also by IBM's OEM version PC DOS. Originally, drive letters always represented physical volumes, but support for logical volumes eventually appeared.
In computer data storage, a volume or logical drive is a single accessible storage area with a single file system, typically (though not necessarily) resident on a single partition of a hard disk. Although a volume might be different from a physical disk drive, it can still be accessed with an operating system's logical interface.
Object-oriented design is a method of design encompassing the process of object-oriented decomposition and a notation for depicting both logical and physical as well as state and dynamic models of the system under design. The software life cycle is typically divided up into stages, going from abstract descriptions of the problem, to designs ...
Logic programming is a programming, database and knowledge representation paradigm that is based on formal logic. A logic program is a set of sentences about some problem domain. Computation is performed by applying logical reasoning to solve problems in the domain. Major logic programming language families include Prolog, Answer Set ...

Software design usually is directed by goals for the resulting system and involves problem-solving and planning – including both high-level software architecture and low-level component and algorithm design. In terms of the waterfall development process, software design is the activity of following requirements specification and before coding ...
