Toward Meta-Software Engineering Multistage Process

Abstract:

Information systems are being used for more and more applications are becoming more complicated and expensive, while at the same hand today’s software systems demand increasing tremendously for sophisticated software engineering processes. There are many ways to solve a single problem in software development. Sometimes, in Structural engineering, developer is not able to decide which process will suit to that particular problem or in other words we can say that selecting a good process is a big issue in Structural Process Software engineering. The solution of such kind of problem can be found in the work to be done, and the task to be performed by the Operational process rather than structure of a process. This paper introduces the notion of process operationality and proposes ‘process architecture’ to represent this operationality. Thus, Structural Process Engineering (SPE) becomes Operational Process Engineering (OPE).
