Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il y a une tendance croissante à considérer les processus d'une organisation comme l'une de ses grandes forces. Les processus sont des ressources réutilisables d'une organisation qui définissent les procédures de travail pour la réalisation de ses objectifs. Avec l'importance croissante du secteur des logiciels et des services, la standardisation des processus devient indispensable pour maintenir sa crédibilité. Le développement de processus suit un cycle de vie très similaire à celui du développement logiciel. Par exemple, il se compose de plusieurs phases et suit une approche incrémentale qui mène à son amélioration continue. Cette approche incrémentale peut être complétée par une stratégie basée sur le raffinement pour développer, exécuter et maintenir les processus de développement de logiciels.Cette thèse propose une base conceptuelle pour le développement de processus logiciels par raffinement, sans perdre de vue les exigences spécifiques de chaque phase du cycle de vie d'un tel processus. Elle utilise l'ingénierie dirigée par les modèles pour présenter un ensemble de méta-modèles pour le développement de processus logiciels où chaque méta-modèle correspond à une phase différente d'un processus (spécification, implémentation et instanciation). Le modèle d'un processus traverse une série de raffinement jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit enrichie par des capacités d'exécution. Le développement d'un interpréteur permet d'exécuter ce modèle. Il donne la possibilité de relier les modèles des differentes phases par des liens de traçabilité. Les intervenants peuvent interagir avec le processus en exécution à l'aide d'une interface de supervision. Un niveau de variabilité incluse dans les modèles de processus permet leur adaptation pendant l'exécution. Tout en prenant en compte la nécessité de se conformer aux standards adoptés par l'organisation, l'architecture de l'approche de modélisation proposée exploite le concept d'abstraction en s'inspirant de la notion de composant logiciel pour aider à la réutilisation de modèles de processus. Notre méthode est également prévue pour les entreprises qui veulent suivre plusieurs standards pour le même projet.Sur la base des connaissances acquises grâce à l'étude des langages de modélisation actuels du domaine, le cadre proposé pour la modélisation de processus présente une architecture qui se développe autour des concepts de «conception par contrat» et «conception pour et par la réutilisation». Ceci permet de construire un modèle de processus qui a une structure modulaire et garantit la correction des interactions entre des activités constituantes. Afin de favoriser la séparation des préoccupations, les flux de données au sein d'un processus sont gérés à un niveau d'abstraction différent de celui des flux de contrôle. La conformité entre ces deux niveaux permet d'offrir une architecture bicouche. Le flux de données lors de l'exécution est assuré par un système de gestion d'événements. Une évaluation des capacités de l'approche proposée est fournie par une analyse basée sur l'ensemble des «workflow patterns». Cela permet une comparaison directe de ses capacités avec d'autres approches de modélisation de processus
Book Synopsis Process Based Unification for Multi-model Software Process Improvement by : Z.D. Kelemen
Download or read book Process Based Unification for Multi-model Software Process Improvement written by Z.D. Kelemen and published by Zádor Dániel Kelemen. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many different quality approaches are available in the software industry. Some of the ap-proaches, such as ISO 9001 are not software specific, i.e. they define general requirements for an organization and they can be used at any company. Others, such as Automotive SPICE have been derived from a software specific approach, and can be used for improving specific (in this case automotive) processes. Some are created to improve development processes (e.g. CMMI for Development), others focus on services (e.g. CMMI for Services), and again others are related to particular processes such as software testing (e.g. TMMi) or resource manage-ment (e.g. People CMM). A number of differences among quality approaches exist and there can be various situations in which the usage of multiple approaches is required, e.g. to strengthen a particular process with multiple quality approaches or to reach certification of the compliance to a number of stand-ards. First of all it has to be decided which approaches have potential for the organization. In many cases one approach does not contain enough information for process implementation. Consequently, the organization may need to use several approaches and the decision has to be made how the chosen approaches can be used simultaneously. This area is called Multi-model Software Process Improvement (MSPI). The simultaneous usage of multiple quality ap-proaches is called the multi-model problem. In this dissertation we propose a solution for the multi-model problem which we call the Pro-cess Based Unification (PBU) framework. The PBU framework consists of the PBU concept, a PBU process and the PBU result. We call PBU concept the mapping of quality approaches to a unified process. The PBU concept is operationalized by a PBU process. The PBU result includes the resulting unified process and the mapping of quality approaches to the unified process. Accordingly, we addressed the following research question: Does the PBU framework provide a soluti
Book Synopsis Automatic Methods for the Refinement of System Models by : Julia Seiter
Download or read book Automatic Methods for the Refinement of System Models written by Julia Seiter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of automatic model refinement, which helps readers close the gap between initial textual specification and its desired implementation. The authors enable readers to follow two “directions” for refinement: Vertical refinement, for adding detail and precision to single description for a given model and Horizontal refinement, which considers several views on one level of abstraction, refining the system specification by dedicated descriptions for structure or behavior. The discussion includes several methods which support designers of electronic systems in this refinement process, including verification methods to check automatically whether a refinement has been conducted as intended.
Book Synopsis An Approach to Modelling Software Evolution Processes by : Tong Li
Download or read book An Approach to Modelling Software Evolution Processes written by Tong Li and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Approach to Modelling Software Evolution Processes describes formal software processes that effectively support software evolution. The importance and popularity of software evolution increase as more and more successful software systems become legacy systems. For one thing, software evolution has become an important characteristic in the software life cycle; for another, software processes play an important role in increasing efficiency and quality of software evolution. Therefore, the software evolution process, the inter-discipline of software process and software evolution, becomes a key area in software engineering. The book is intended for software engineers and researchers in computer science. Prof. Tong Li earned his Ph.D. in Software Engineering at De Montfort University, U.K.; he has published five monographs and over one hundred papers.

Book Synopsis Modeling Companion for Software Practitioners by : Egon Börger
Download or read book Modeling Companion for Software Practitioners written by Egon Börger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses a variety of applications to illustrate a modeling method that helps practitioners to manage complex software-intensive systems. The proposed method relies on the combination of its abstraction concept and its operational character, with behavioral models in the precise and simple form of Abstract State Machines (ASMs). The book introduces both the modeling method (Part I) and the available tool support (Part II): In Part I the authors detail (using numerous examples) how to construct, explain, debug, explore, extend and reuse accurate system design models, starting from scratch. Only an elementary knowledge of common mathematical (including set-theoretic) notation and some basic experience with computational processes (systems, programs, algorithms) is assumed. Part II then shows how the modeling method can be supported by implementing tools that make design models executable and debuggable. To illustrate how to build, debug and maintain systems and to explain their construction in a checkable manner, a general, problem-oriented refinement method is adopted to construct system models from components. The method starts with abstract models and refines them step by step, incrementally adding further details that eventually lead to code. Intended for practitioners who build software intensive systems, and students specializing in software engineering, it can be used both for self-study and for teaching, and it can serve as a reference book. Exercises are included to help readers check their understanding of the explained concepts. For many models defined in the book, refinements to executable versions can be downloaded for experimental validation from the book’s website at http://modelingbook.informatik.uni-ulm.de
Download or read book Refinement written by John Derrick and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refinement is one of the cornerstones of a formal approach to software engineering. Refinement is all about turning an abstract description (of a soft or hardware system) into something closer to implementation. It provides that essential bridge between higher level requirements and an implementation of those requirements. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to refinement for the researcher or graduate student. It introduces refinement in different semantic models, and shows how refinement is defined and used within some of the major formal methods and languages in use today. It (1) introduces the reader to different ways of looking at refinement, relating refinement to observations(2) shows how these are realised in different semantic models (3) shows how different formal methods use different models of refinement, and (4) how these models of refinement are related.
Book Synopsis Software Process: Principles, Methodology, and Technology by : Jean-Claude Derniame
Download or read book Software Process: Principles, Methodology, and Technology written by Jean-Claude Derniame and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-08-18 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 Jean Claude Derniame Software process technology is an emerging and strategic area that has already reached a reasonable degree of maturity, delivering products and significant industrial expe riences. This technology aims at supporting the software production process by pro viding the means to model, analyse, improve, measure, and whenever it is reasonable and convenient, to automate software production activities. In recent years, this tech nology has proved to be effective in the support of many business activities not directly related to software production, but relying heavily on the concept of process (i. e. all the applications traditionally associated with workflow management). This book concentrates on the core technology of software processes, its principles and concepts as well as the technical aspect of software process support. The contributions to this book are the collective work of the Promoter 2 European Working Group. This grouping of 13 academic and 3 industrial partners is the suc cessor of Promoter, a working group responsible for creating a European software process community. Promoter 2 aims at exploiting this emerging community to collec tively develop remaining open issues, to coordinate activities and to assist in the dis semination of results. The title “Software Process Modelling and Technology” [Fink94] was produced during Promoter 1. Being “project based”, it presented the main findings and proposals of the different projects then being undertaken by the partners.
Book Synopsis Statistical Software Engineering by : National Research Council
Download or read book Statistical Software Engineering written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-03-15 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies challenges and opportunities in the development and implementation of software that contain significant statistical content. While emphasizing the relevance of using rigorous statistical and probabilistic techniques in software engineering contexts, it presents opportunities for further research in the statistical sciences and their applications to software engineering. It is intended to motivate and attract new researchers from statistics and the mathematical sciences to attack relevant and pressing problems in the software engineering setting. It describes the "big picture," as this approach provides the context in which statistical methods must be developed. The book's survey nature is directed at the mathematical sciences audience, but software engineers should also find the statistical emphasis refreshing and stimulating. It is hoped that the book will have the effect of seeding the field of statistical software engineering by its indication of opportunities where statistical thinking can help to increase understanding, productivity, and quality of software and software production.
Book Synopsis Software Engineering Processes by : Yingxu Wang
Download or read book Software Engineering Processes written by Yingxu Wang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-04-21 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software engineering is playing an increasingly significant role in computing and informatics, necessitated by the complexities inherent in large-scale software development. To deal with these difficulties, the conventional life-cycle approaches to software engineering are now giving way to the "process system" approach, encompassing development methods, infrastructure, organization, and management. Until now, however, no book fully addressed process-based software engineering or set forth a fundamental theory and framework of software engineering processes. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications does just that. Within a unified framework, this book presents a comparative analysis of current process models and formally describes their algorithms. It systematically enables comparison between current models, avoidance of ambiguity in application, and simplification of manipulation for practitioners. The authors address a broad range of topics within process-based software engineering and the fundamental theories and philosophies behind them. They develop a software engineering process reference model (SEPRM) to show how to solve the problems of different process domains, orientations, structures, taxonomies, and methods. They derive a set of process benchmarks-based on a series of international surveys-that support validation of the SEPRM model. Based on their SEPRM model and the unified process theory, they demonstrate that current process models can be integrated and their assessment results can be transformed between each other. Software development is no longer just a black art or laboratory activity. It is an industrialized process that requires the skills not just of programmers, but of organization and project managers and quality assurance specialists. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications is the key to understanding, using, and improving upon effective engineering procedures for software development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents joint works of members of the software engineering and formal methods communities with representatives from industry, with the goal of establishing the foundations for a common understanding of the needs for more flexibility in model-driven engineering. It is based on the Dagstuhl Seminar 19481 „Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools“, which was held November 24 to 29, 2019, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, where current challenges, their background and concepts to address them were discussed. The book is structured in two parts, and organized around five fundamental core aspects of the subject: (1) the composition of languages, models and analyses; (2) the integration and orchestration of analysis tools; (3) the continual analysis of models; (4) the exploitation of results; and (5) the way to handle uncertainty in model-based developments. After a chapter on foundations and common terminology and a chapter on challenges in the field, one chapter is devoted to each of the above five core aspects in the first part of the book. These core chapters are accompanied by additional case studies in the second part of the book, in which specific tools and experiences are presented in more detail to illustrate the concepts and ideas previously introduced. The book mainly targets researchers in the fields of software engineering and formal methods as well as software engineers from industry with basic familiarity with quality properties, model-driven engineering and analysis tools. From reading the book, researchers will receive an overview of the state-of-the-art and current challenges, research directions, and recent concepts, while practitioners will be interested to learn about concrete tools and practical applications in the context of case studies.

Amting Directorate General Information Society, European Commission, Brussels Under the 4th Framework of European Research, the European Systems and Soft ware Initiative (ESSI) was part of the ESPRIT Programme. This initiative funded more than 470 projects in the area' of software and system process improvements. The majority of these projects were process improvement experiments carrying out and taking up new development processes, methods and technology within the software development process of a company. In addition, nodes (centres of exper tise), European networks (organisations managing local activities), training and dissemination actions complemented the process improvement experiments. ESSI aimed at improving the software development capabilities of European enterprises. It focused on best practice and helped European companies to develop world class skills and associated technologies to build the increasingly complex and varied systems needed to compete in the marketplace. The dissemination activities were designed to build a forum, at European level, to exchange information and knowledge gained within process improvement ex periments. Their major objective was to spread the message and the results of experiments to a wider audience, through a variety of different channels. The European Experience Exchange ~UR~X) project has been one of these dis semination activities within the European Systems and Software Initiative.~UR~X has collected the results of practitioner reports from numerous workshops in Europe and presents, in this series of books, the results of Best Practice achieve ments in European Companies over the last few years.
