Advanced Software Development

Prominent contributors identify key research problems that shed light on convincing treatments of several fundamental concerns which have characterized the field to date. After introducing process-centred environments, the text proposes a conceptual framework for describing and evaluating evolving software processes. Discusses 10 projects the authors are involved with such as EPOS, MERLIN, ALF, ADELE-TEMPO, SPADE and PADM. Concludes with an assessment exercise which compares and appraises these projects.
