This book provides an account of the key European contributions to the international community of researchers in software process modelling and technology. The projects selected reflect the range of issues within the field; as such, the book form a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to establish the "state of the art".
The book begins with a brief introduction to process-centred environments and then proposes a conceptual framework for describing and assessing evolving software processes. In the core of the book, ten projects which address different software process modelling and technology issues are described. These are: EPOS, SOCCA, MERLIN, OIKOS, ALF, ADELE-TEMP, SPADE, PEACE, E3, and PADM. The concluding chapter provides and experimental assessment exercise that compares and evaluates the different projects according to a list of assessment criteria.
