Method Engineering aims at providing effective solutions to build, improve and support evolution of development methodologies. Contributions, in the field of situational method engineering, aim at providing techniques and tools allowing to construct project-specific methodologies. But little research has focused on how to tailor such situational methodologies when used as organization-wide standardapproaches. In this context, we propose an approach which consists in federating the method chunks built from the different project-specific methods in order to allowe each project to share its best practices with the other projects without imposing to all of them a new and unique organization-wide method.

Goal modelling is emerging as a central requirements engineering (RE) technique. Unfortunately, current goal-oriented languages are not interoperable with one another or with modelling languages that address other modelling perspectives. This is a problem because the emerging generation of model-driven information systems are likely to depend on coordinated use of several modelling languages to represent different perspectives on the enterprise and its proposed information system. The paper applies a structured approach to describe a well-known goal-oriented language, KAOS, by mapping it onto a philosophically grounded ontology. ... Schrijf als eerste een reactie |

A business domain is typically constrained by business rules. In practice, these rules often include constraints of different modalities (e.g. alethic and
deontic). Alethic rules impose necessities, which cannot, even in principle, be
violated by the business. Deontic rules impose obligations, which may be violated, even though they ought not. Conceptual modeling approaches typically
confine their specification of rules to alethic rules. This paper discusses one
way to model deontic rules, especially those of a static nature. A formalization
based on modal operators is provided, and some challenging semantic issues are
examined from both logical and pragmatic perspectives. Because of its richer
semantics, the main graphic notation used is that of Object-Role Modeling
(ORM). ... Schrijf als eerste een reactie |

Globally distributed software development (GSD) and agile methods
are two current and important trends in software and systems engineering.
While agile methods seem to cope well with increasingly changing business
environments, it is far from obvious how these light-weight processes can best
contribute to GSD. In this paper, method rationale is proposed as an analytical
tool to understand the values that underpin agile methods and how these map to
the GSD domain. Specifically, the paper presents an initial analysis of the
values and goals embraced by the ‘agile manifesto’ and compares briefly with
partial results from an ongoing study on the use of agile methods in GSD. Schrijf als eerste een reactie |

Various frameworks, meta models and reference models have been
proposed to describe information systems development (ISD) and ISD methods.
Most of them are informal or focused on some specific aspects. This paper
presents an ISD ontology, which aims to provide an integrated
conceptualization of ISD through anchoring it upon the contextual approach.
The ISD ontology is composed of concepts, relationships and constraints
referring to purposes, actors, actions and objects of ISD. It is presented as a
terminology with defined concepts and in meta models in a UML-based
ontology representation language. We believe that although not being complete
the ISD ontology can promote the achievement of a shared understanding of
contextual aspects in ISD. ... Schrijf als eerste een reactie |

To assure the quality of software processes, models play an important
role. Process models represent the officially sanctioned software development
processes in the organization. Although important, they are not sufficient,
since the practices of software developers often differ considerably from the official
process. Practice models, describing the way software development is
really done, are an important source of information for validating the software
process. Using conceptual graph theory, we present a formal method for representing
and comparing process and practice models in various combinations.
The method allows for differences between these models to be easily detected. ... Schrijf als eerste een reactie |
