Capacities-Centered Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering Software Process

In this paper, we propose an integral software process model which is applicable in the construction of the conventional systems and knowledge-based systems (KBS), centered in the capacities. The designed model is prescriptive, that is indicates "what is done" to produce and maintain an automated solution to a problem of the real world and "who's who", the person doing it. The Capacities-Centered Integral Software Process Model (CCISPM) is formalized through an object oriented approach. Aiming to automate the CCISPM, the formalization of the process dynamic aspects is begun. In this context, it is presented the dynamic modeling of the activities of the Project Initiation, Planning and Estimation Process. The formal model obtained, which represents the three Ps: processes, products and people, favours the direct understanding and communication of the process users (engineers, managers or developers) in relation to the model considered aspects.
