....modelled. Human resources are the least formalized factor by current software production software process models. However, their importance is obvious: they have a non deterministic and subjective behavior which has a decisive impact on the results of on which is basically an intellectual activity [15, 29]. In addition, the lack of specification of the human resources makes the process not to reflect the real situation of the modeled organization software process. This also adds the risk that processes which are not adequate to the capacity of the human resources of the organization to be executed. ....

....IPSE 2.5 and SPADE, for example. Peopleoriented models focus on the specifications of the people involved in the software process and their relationships. They include SOCCA, ALF, PMDB. People are the least formalised factor in existing software process models. Their importance, however, is patent [54]: their behaviour is non deterministic and subjective and has a decisive impact on the results of software production, which is a basically an intellectual and social activity [31] Additionally, the non specification of human resources means that the process does not reflect the actual status of ....

....Thus, it is shown that profile may be used not only as a method for knowledge representation but also as a tool for solutions to process engineering tasks. 1. Introduction Most contemporary software process models are founded on the job activity descriptions and have a technical focus [10]. However, a detailed description of software development activities is virtually impossible to define in most cases, and is really not important for successful task completion. This is because, the vast majority of software tasks are cognitively driven. They are creative tasks managed by ....

....a structured framework managing process descriptions which could cope with different types of process description and which, furthermore, reflected the organisational goals for process improvement. Our studies of requirements engineering processes (and, previously, other types of software process [9]) revealed remarkable process inconsistency both within and across organisations. Inconsistencies in processes do not necessarily mean that there are process problems. They can arise for a number of good reasons: 1. Many tasks require software engineers to exercise professional judgement and ....
