Definition of Software Processes in an Ontology-Based Software Development Environment
Abstract
Software process definition is not an easy task. It can be done in several levels, starting by defining a standard software process for the organization, specializing it to consider certain paradigm, software type or domain application, and finally tailoring the specialized standard processes to projects. Since it is a very complex, knowledge-intensive and error prone task it is useful to provide automated tools to support it. In ODE, an ontology- based process-centered software engineering environment, there is a tool that supports this leveled approach for process definition. This paper presents an evolution of this tool and discusses the design rationale behind this evolution.
