Abstract

The concept of the Virtual Software Corporation (VSC) has recently become a practical reality as a result of advances in communication and distributed technologies. However, there are significant difficulties with the management of the software development process within a VSC. The main problem is the significantly increased communicational complexity of the process model for such developments. The more classic managerial hierarchy is generally replaced by a "flatter" network of commitments. Therefore new solution approaches are required to provide the necessary process support. The purpose of the paper is to present a solution approach which models the process based on deontic logic. The approach has been developed and validated against a case study where it was used to model commitments and inter-human communications within the software development process of a VSC. The use of the formalism is exemplified through a prototype system using a layered multi agent architecture.

虚拟软件公司中协调软件开发的道义形式

由于通信和分布式技术的进步，虚拟软件公司(VSC)的概念最近已经成为现实。然而，在VSC中管理软件开发过程有很大的困难。主要问题是这种开发过程模型的通信复杂性显著增加。更经典的管理层级通常被“更扁平”的承诺网络所取代。因此，需要新的解决方案方法来提供必要的流程支持。本文的目的是提出一种基于道义逻辑的过程建模的解决方法。该方法已经开发并通过案例研究进行了验证，该案例研究将其用于在VSC的软件开发过程中建模承诺和人与人之间的通信。通过使用分层多智能体体系结构的原型系统来举例说明形式化的使用。
