Abstract
This chapter describes the SCARLET Process Advisor, a web-enabled workflow software tool that delivers process guidance to software engineers who are selecting software components and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) packages. It presents two forms of process guidance delivered by SCARLET – goal-based process guidance based on workflow techniques, and situated process guidance that delivers local process guidance to achieve goals in different situations. The chapter describes the software components and work flow engine needed to guide software component selection using requirements, and how it provides inputs to BANKSEC’s Systems Integration Manager tool. The chapter ends with a summary of the expected innovation and future exploitation by the originating BANKSEC project.
