Abstract
In order to re-use 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 a New Software Engineering Framework (NSEF) enabling a more effective and efficient instantiation and application of processes. A system supporting project managers in instantiation of software processes is being developed. It aims to execute instantiation decision made by humans and to automatically restore correctness of the resulting process.
