This group discussed software process reuse and
reusability, specifically how to pragmatically and systematically standardize
and replicate project-specific processes in an industrial software environment.
The working hypothesis was that by using
domain engineering techniques, software
reuse principles, process architecture research, and process modeling
mechanisms, project-specific processes can be abstracted into reusable
components that can be used by process engineers.
Items for discussion will include:
-
a notation for recording reusable processes,
-
definition of processes in an industrial environment,
-
creation of a repository of these reusable processes,
-
evaluation studies of software process reuse.
