Process Modelling Techniques

Obiettivo

The main objectives of the Group are to:

- strengthen and organise European software process modelling (SPM) research
- promote exchanges with related fields such as unconventional databases, computer-supported cooperative work, concurrent and distributed systems, and social science
- promote exchanges with non-European SPM groups through cooperation projects.

The following topics are being worked on in the second year:

- conceptual framework, process-model life-cycle, process management, acquisition standards and methods, metrics
- team support and cooperation, fine-grained process modelling, programming styles
- Architecture of PSEEs and process evolution, enabling technologies, PSEE requirements.
The research is devoted to software process modelling (SPM). Central to the SPM approach is the idea of developing rigorous descriptions or models of software processes in order to provide improved project visibility, coordination, understanding; analysis and error detection for process improvement; enaction of models into process centred integrated project support environments (IPSEs) as a basis for industrial production; and the maintenance of software through control, automatic initiatives and guidance.

To launch its work, the Working Group organized EWSPT '92 (European Workshop on Software Process Technology) at Trondheim, Norway. Approximately 50 people attended. Long discussions demonstrated the emergence of a real European community in software process technology and its maturity and its originality: the number of approaches adopted in many prototypes, the large covering of the group and its focus on architecture evolution issues.

An initial book was published in January 1994. It is a collection of separate papers and it aims at presenting the state of affairs in Europe. Important contacts have been established in order to have formal cooperation.
ACTIVITIES

These consist of subgroup meetings, organising a European workshop, writing a book on the current projects relevant to that field in Europe, and participation in the ICSP2 conference and the ISPWS and programme committee. In the first year, six subgroups were active:

Assessment and Reference Models: assessment of existing proposals, providing a common assessment document as support for the evaluation of the ten approaches developed by Promoter members, synthesis in the PROMOTER book; definition of a reference framework.

Team support, Cooperation and Transactions: fine-grained vs coarse-grained modelling, multiple viewpoints, long-term transaction properties and mechanisms, Merlin, Goodstep tool specification language.

Architecture: the issues are existing enabling technology, architecture of process-centered environments, and efficiency and interoperability. The goals are sharing experiences and identifying available technology and standards, specific needs and requirements, and classes of architectures.

Evolution: paper on conceptual issues in evolution; papers (IEE TSE Special issue on evolution of software processes) on evolution in EPOS and SPADE; session at ISWP-8 on process change.

Process Acquisition: methods for process acquisition; model refinement; and different ways of representing models.

POTENTIAL

The SPM field is still immature. The expected impact of Promotor will consist of improvements for prototypes currently under implementation or use, and for the design of new systems. A common framework, common concepts, common and presentation material will contribute to the maturation of this field in Europe.
