.... and the performance domain (i.e. the process engine and the interactive tools used to perform the process) most research contributions do not consider the integration of tools in PCEs although the problems of a posteriori integration of existing CASE tools have been widely recognized (e.g.[19], 34] 57] 31] Bandinelli et al. argue that a posterJori tool integration (e.g. by means of wrapper9 couM be less eftactive since a tool is still seen as a monolithic operator [50] Consequently, existing PCEs do not offer process integrated tools. An exception, where means for ....

....be used to consolidate the process knowledge, to support process assessment and improvement, and to communicate the business rules within the organization. Typical examples of PSSs are WorkFlow Management Systems (WFMSs) 2] 3] and Process centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) 1] [4], 5] They offer tools to create process models, analyze them, and improve them according to the results of the analysis. Process modeling and improvement are not the only activities that can be supported by PSSs. Most modern business organizations operate by taking advantage of computerized ....

....of requirements. Section 4 presents our prototype system, MVP S. Section 5 uses a well known process to give a detailed example of using measurement data to enact a project plan using MVP S, and Sect. 6 offers some conclusions. 2 Related Work Many systems support defining and performing processes [8, 32, 18, 12], but only a few support the collection and use of empirical data [23, 24] A few SEEs which address the issue of measurement in some way, including data collection for understanding and use of data to provide guidance, are summarized here. The Ginger system [27] consists of a set of monitoring ....

....view, both conceptually and graphically. This applies in all lifecycle phases, but especially in the last ones. 2.4.1 Tool View (non core) The tool view deals with how much the process support perturbates the production process. We can identify at least two different tool views or work modes [FG94] 1. In most existing PSEEs, the user has a task oriented view of the process: The user is directed by the PSEE. That is, most tool activations are strictly controlled and invoked through a central process support interface. That means that all relevant production tools must be enveloped. 2. More ....

....found. Process centered software engineering environments (PSEEs) are a promising approach towards achieving this goal. Process driven software development is based on the explicit definition of the software process, its instantiation and its performance according to the definition (process model) [2, 3]. The position of this paper is that in order to improve software engineering processes, human factors as well as their management and organization (e.g agents, roles, responsibilities, capabilities, team structures, communication, cooperation, supervising relationships) have to be integrated into ....

.... definition instantiation enaction paradigm [18] The software process is first analyzed and explicitly represented by a process model which is further instantiated and enforced, guided, supported by a runtime environment referred to as PSEE (process centered software engineering environment) [14] in the software process community. The explicit representation of software processes (process models) thus constitute a large body of knowledge about an organization s software development activities. Therefore, it is advisable to build and maintain a process model library and to reuse knowledge ....

....and a subsequent explicit representation of the software process. The representation is henceforth referred to as the process model which is further instantiated, enforced, guided, and supported by a runtime environment called a PSEE, i.e. process centered software engineering environment [12]. The various explicit representations of software processes thus constitutes a substantial amount of knowledge about an organization s software development activities. Therefore, we want to stress the important necessity of building and maintaining a process model library which may be regarded as ....

....efficiency demanded by these applications can be met through appropriate design choices. 1 Introduction During the last decade, software development has quickly become one of the most complex engineering activities carried out by humans. Process centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) [1, 2, 3] aim at supporting such activities by providing a language to formalize the process that have to be carried out (usually called PDL , an acronym for Process Description Language ) and an environment capable of interpreting a process model to guide people during the process and to automate the ....
