Towards a Generic Model for Situational Method Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The work presented in this paper is related to the area of Situational Method Engineering (SME), which focuses on project-specific method construction. We propose a generic process model supporting the integration of different existing SME approaches. This model shall help the method engineer either selecting one SME approach or combining several approaches that best fit the situation of the method engineering project at hand. The generic model presented in this paper already contains three SME techniques: (1) to assemble method chunks (2) to extend an existing method and (3) to generate a method by abstraction/instantiation of a model/meta-model. The paper presents and illustrates these three techniques and show how other SME techniques could be integrated in the model.

Patterns of Situational Method Engineering
Situational Method Engineering (SME) addresses the need for custom-built software development methodologies that are tailored to fit specific project situations. A process pattern is a description of a recurring development process fragment that can be used as a generic model or a building block for engineering development processes. Software development process patterns are extensively used in...
متن کاملA comparison of deontic matrices, maps and activity diagrams for the construction of situational methods
Several approaches have been proposed to support situational method engineering (SME), each of them providing different techniques and using different basic concepts. In this work, we propose a framework for comparing SME approaches based on a generic SME process model. Three approaches are presented and compared by using this framework.
متن کاملAn Assembly Process Model for Method Engineering
The need for a better productivity of system engineering teams, as well as a better quality of products motivates the development of solutions to adapt methods to the project situation at hand. This is known as situational method engineering. In this paper we propose a generic process model to support the construction of a new method by assembling method chunks generated from different methods ...
متن کاملSituational Factors in Safety Critical Software Development
The generic software development situational factors model has been developed in order that environments within which software is developed can be profiled and better understood. Situational context is a complex concern for software developers, with a broad set of situational factors holding the potential to affect any one software development project. Safety critical software development is br...
متن کاملMethod Configuration with Development Tracks and Generic Project Types
The world of system development methods is changing as rigorous ‘off-the-shelf’ methods become more popular. The need for configuration of such methods in a structured way is increasing accordingly. In this paper, method configuration is considered as a particular kind of method engineering focusing on adaptation of a base method. We propose a method configuration process based on the concepts ...
