Towards a shared software factory: an industrial experience

Published:20 June 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe how an ICT Virtual Enterprise has been organized at industrial level. A Software Factory-based approach, aiming at supporting the project sharing by the virtual enterprise components, has been adopted. We also detail how human resources and project management have been organized to support a flexible and iterative development process.
