This site contains detailed information about the paper “A MODEL-DRIVEN APPROACH TO MANAGING AND CUSTOMIZING SOFTWARE PROCESS VARIABILITIES”. This paper was submitted to 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems – ICEIS 2010. The following sections presents all the relevant subjects related to the work.

Paper Abstract:

This paper presents a model-driven approach to managing and customizing software process variabilites. It promotes the productivity increase through: (i) the process reuse; and (ii) the integration and automation of the definition, customization, deployment and execution activities of software processes. Our approach is founded on the principles and techniques of software product lines and model-driven engineering. In order to evaluate the feasibility of our approach, we have designed and implemented it using existing and available technologies.
