Graph-Based Models for Managing Development Processes, Resources, and Products

  • Conference paper
Book cover Theory and Application of Graph Transformations (TAGT 1998)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 1764))

Abstract

Management of development processes in different engineering disciplines is a challenging task. We present an integrated approach which covers not only the activities to be carried out, but also the resources required and the documents produced. Integrated management of processes, resources, and products is based on a model which is formally specified by a programmed graph rewriting system. Management tools are generated from the formal specification. In this way, we obtain a management system which assists in the coordination of developers cooperating in the development of a complex technical product.
