Software Engineering as it is taught today is entirely focused on object-oriented programming and the &#39;natural&#39; object-oriented view of the world. There is a detailed methodology that describes how to transform a domain model into a class model with several steps and a lot of (UML) artifacts like use-case-diagrams or class-diagrams. Many programmers have internalized this approach and have a good idea about how to design an object-oriented application from scratch. 

The new hype is functional programming, which is taught in many books and tutorials. But what about functional software engineering? 
While reading about Lisp and Clojure, I came about two interesting statements: 

1. Functional programs are often developed bottom up instead of top down (&#39;On Lisp&#39;, Paul Graham)

2. Functional Programmers use Maps where OO-Programmers use objects/classes (&#39;Clojure for Java Programmers&#39;, talk by Rich Hickley). 

So what is the methodology for a systematic (model-based ?) design of a functional application, i.e. in Lisp or Clojure? What are the common steps, what artifacts do I use, how do I map them from the problem space to the solution space?

Is there a software-engineering methodology for functional programming?
