Abstract

In order to reuse software processes for a spectrum of projects, they are described in a generic way. Due to the uniqueness of software development, processes have to be adapted to project-specific needs to be effectively applicable in projects. This instantiation still lacks standardization and tool support making it error-prone, time consuming, and thus expensive. Siemens AG has started research projects aiming to improve software process-related activities. Part of these efforts has been the development of an architecture for a system executing instantiation decisions made by humans which automatically restores correctness of the resulting process.
