Process Tailoring in Iterative Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The organisational context in which systems engineering is practised is changing. Organisations are becoming increasingly concerned with the flexibility of their processes. Fundamental issues of responsiveness to innovation in product concept, system architecture, component technologies and inter-working relationships are of growing importance. Current developments in management thinking and in e-business technologies are also pushing in the direction of flexibility and adaptability. This paper addresses the tailoring of systems engineering processes to iterative product development, using a role/responsibility-based approach. Two levels of tailoring are discussed: (1) from standards and the systems engineering literature to an organisation's capability resources and (2) from the capability resources to an individual project. The approach is motivated by the wish to apply standard reference models developed by the systems engineering community in a flexible way, especially to link and scale up innovative and entrepreneurial activity into projects. Simple examples are provided to illustrate the approach and some issues involved in a practical application are discussed.

A new one-step iterative process for approximating common fixed points of a countable family of quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in CAT(0) spaces
In this paper, we propose a new one-step iterative process for a countable family of quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in a CAT(0) space. We also prove strong and $Delta$-convergence theorems of the proposed iterative process under some control conditions. Our main results extend and generalize many results in the literature.
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of System Development Method Tailoring in Practice
Little research has been conducted to date on the specific topic of the tailoring of systems development methods. Two related research areas—contingency factors research and method engineering—have exhibited a primarily deductive research focus. In contrast, this paper presents an inductive study into method tailoring in practice within the Motorola organisation. The findings illustrate the sop...
متن کاملA Megamodel for Process Tailoring and Evolution
Companies formalize their software processes as a way of organizing their development projects. In practice, a family of processes is required, in order to ensure that each project is handled appropriately. This family may be a collection of predefined processes, but can also be generated by tailoring a general process to a project’s context. Automated process tailoring yields the most appropri...
متن کاملIterative Process for an α- Nonexpansive Mapping and a Mapping Satisfying Condition(C) in a Convex Metric Space
We construct one-step iterative process for an α- nonexpansive mapping and a mapping satisfying condition (C) in the framework of a convex metric space. We study △-convergence and strong convergence of the iterative process to the common fixed point of the mappings. Our results are new and are valid in hyperbolic spaces, CAT(0) spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, simultaneously.
