Themes and Goals
----------------
Industrial software engineers need a flexible and modular process
model that enables them to combine the benefits of existing process
models, methods, techniques, and best practices in a project-specific
way. To devise such a process model, a comprehensive and clear notion
of software development processes and the corresponding process
artifacts is required. Over the last years, we have been working on
the concept of process patterns. The underlying meta model and the
corresponding description techniques provide a common understanding of
all kinds of software development processes and their artifacts,
respectively.
The workshop harvests best practices, techniques, methods, and
development process fragments presented as software development
process patterns. The purpose of this workshop is then to combine and
relate these patterns, thus making a first step towards a
comprehensive process pattern language. This language will be based on a
common software development process framework, and it will include
methodical guidelines on the selection of the appropriate process
pattern for a specific situation.
Our mid- and long-term goal is to continually evolve the language in
order to gain a general basis for the integration, communication, and
evolution of process knowledge from different software engineering
communities. The workshop may thus result in the establishment of an
international community for software development processes based on
process patterns. The interest of this community will be to collect,
document, and improve software engineering and development process
knowledge.
Topics
------
The workshop will elicit submissions of a large range of established
best practices, techniques, methods, and development process fragments
to support the software development process.
To ease communication among the participants, submissions are
recommend to be documented as a process patterns. For this, a process
pattern template, a sample process pattern, and a rough sketch of a
conceptual framework for process patterns are provided at the
workshop's website (http://www.forsoft.de/zen/sdpp02/). Ideally, a
paper might also reflect about the template or framework that was used
to document a process pattern and argue why it is appropriate or not.
Besides a sound description of the proposed process pattern(s) itself,
the paper should also discuss why the presented process fragment is a
good candidate for a process pattern. This comprises a discussion of
how the proposed pattern can be reused in different development
processes and how it could possibly be combined with other patterns.
Topics that are relevant to the workshop are, guidelines, best
practices, experience reports, techniques, methods, or development
process fragments that describe how to be better in:
* teamwork and collaboration
* project management and planning
* requirements engineering and business analysis
* design, modeling, using tools, elaborating documentation
* using UML and other notations
* programming
* testing
* quality assurance
* redesign and refactoring
* customers and contracts
* cost estimation and measurement
* other software development process relevant topics
During the workshop the authors will present their papers and answer
questions that relate directly to their presentation. Subsequently,
the participants will discuss how the presented patterns may fit into a
common process pattern language and how a process pattern framework
must look like to provide an appropriate base for such a pattern
language.
The main goal of the workshop is to establish an ongoing discussion on
process patterns and thereby to agree on an appropriate conceptual
framework for these patterns to enhance flexibility and evolution of
software development processes.
Submissions
-----------
Paper submission is required for participation in the workshop.
Submission deadline is the 3th October 2002. Papers should not
exceed a length of 5 - 15 pages. Authors are invited to send their
papers to the organizers of the workshop (mailto:[log in to unmask]) in
Postscript or PDF format. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed
by a minimum of three people.
The accepted papers will be published on the workshop website already
before the workshop. Workshop proceedings including all papers will be
published as Technical Report of the Technische Universität München.
