Thesis Title: Development of an EPFC-Based Method Engineering Environment for Assembly- based Construction of Agile Methodologies
Abstract:
Methodology engineering is a branch of software engineering which deals with the
design, development, and modification of methodologies, and the techniques and
tools for developing information systems. Methodology engineering requirements
demand the support of Computer Aided Methodology Engineering (CAME) tools.
Recently, method engineering focus has shifted towards Situational Method
Engineering (SME); i.e. context-specific methodology development. The emergence
of SME approaches has brought about various methods for methodology development;
including ad hoc, paradigm-based, extension-based and assembly-based approaches.
In the assembly-based strategy, appropriate method chunks are extracted from the
repository of a CAME and assembled into a tailored-to-fit methodology. One of the most
commonly-used CAME tools is EFPC, which provides a substrate for the definition,
storage, retrieval and assembly method chunks. Despite its capabilities, EPFC suffers from the lack of a rich repository of method chunks to develop a
wide-range of current methodologies. Fortunately, the core repository of EPFC
provides extensibility. |
