Abstract

It is well known that it may be difficult to integrate a tool in a process-centred SDE (PSDE) whenever the tool embeds an implicit model of (part of) the software process. Usually this happens because the tools exploit some predefined product and/or control structure, and difficulties arise because of an impedance mismatch between the model that is implicit in the tool and the one that is explicit in the PSDE. A typical example is that of configuration management tools. I refer to this situation as the process in the tool syndrome, and in discussing the issue raised in the title I argue that the syndrome is indeed becoming worse, since a new modelling facet, namely that of user models, is becoming a hindrance. The arguments in support of this position come from a discussion of some issues identified in the workshop announcement. I also support my arguments with the experience of Oikos, a meta-environment for PSDEs, under development in Pisa.
“工具中的过程综合症”:情况会变得更糟吗?
众所周知,只要工具嵌入了软件过程(一部分)的隐式模型,就很难将工具集成到以过程为中心的SDE (PSDE)中。通常发生这种情况是因为工具利用了一些预定义的产品和/或控制结构,并且由于工具中隐含的模型与PSDE中显式模型之间的阻抗不匹配而出现困难。典型的例子是配置管理工具。我把这种情况称为工具综合症中的过程,在讨论标题中提出的问题时,我认为这种综合症确实变得更糟了,因为一个新的建模方面,即用户模型,正在成为一种障碍。支持这一立场的论据来自对研讨会公告中确定的一些问题的讨论。我也用Oikos的经验来支持我的论点,Oikos是一个正在比萨开发的pde元环境。
