چکیده
Software Process Improvement (SPI) of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is gaining momentum in software research and industry. It is recognized that in most countries software industry is composed of a scheme made up mainly of SMEs. This paper condenses efficient Software Engineering practices that will help a SME make tangible improvements in finite time. A practical and easily applied mechanism for SPI is suggested tailored in the needs, size and type of each SME. The main concept of this process involves creating a knowledge base that consists of information about three distinct improvement areas: experience, process and product area. This knowledge base is formed as an ontology that will provide further inference knowledge on the interrelationships of the information recorded. Such knowledge is exploited to define problematic areas and test alternative improvement solutions.
