Synopsis

Prominent contributors identify key research problems that shed light on convincing treatments of several fundamental concerns which have characterized the field to date. After introducing process-centred environments, the text proposes a conceptual framework for describing and evaluating evolving software processes. Discusses 10 projects the authors are involved with such as EPOS, MERLIN, ALF, ADELE-TEMPO, SPADE and PADM. Concludes with an assessment exercise which compares and appraises these projects.

About this title

Synopsis

This book provides an account of the key European contributions to the international community of researchers in software process modelling and technology. The projects selected reflect the range of issues within the field; as such, the book forms a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to establish the "state of the art". The book brings together a diverse collection of contributions from leading researchers in the field to provide in-depth coverage of developments in this rapidly maturing software engineering discipline. Different aspects of the subject matter are covered independently, thereby making the book easy to use as a reference source. In the core of the book, ten projects which address different software process modelling and technology issues are described. These are: EPOS, SOCCA, MERLIN, OIKOS, ALF, ADELE-TEMPO, SPADE, PEACE, E3 and PADM. The concluding chapter povides an experimental assessment exercise that compares and evaluates the different projects according to a list of assessment criteria.
