Abstract

This paper gives a brief overview of the Alvey IPSE 2.5 project. This is a relatively large project investigating certain features of advanced environments supporting systems development activities. The paper concentrates particularly on the idea of process modelling whereby support can be given for the processes by which development activities are carried out.
