Abstract
The focus of this paper is on how to support small software teams in
tailoring and following organization-specific process models by using a
lightweight and flexible approach to reduce the visible complexity of software
projects. We introduce the SPACE (Semantic Process- and Artifact-oriented
Collaboration Environment) concept, which describes working processes and an
associated approach. These models are integrated semantically, thereby enabling
various kinds of analytic techniques, and thus making it easier to cope with the
complexity of processes. Pre-defined templates can be configured to actual
working processes and artifacts exchanged in such processes. In this paper, we
adapt SPACE to the software engineering domain by using the domain-specific
Software Organization Platform (SOP). In this context, the templates contain
process and artifact descriptions of software process models, such as V-Model,
RUP, or agile development.
