Evolution of on-line process fragments families

Abstract

Online product families and their development processes are reusable and evolutive when they are fragmented enough. These fragments are useful if they are meaningfully interconnected. In a cooperative development process, the process entities are regularly updated from several locations. Moreover, the fragments can be differently interpreted, depending on the usage context and the adopted point of view. This paper addresses the access and transient update mechanisms for a family of configurable and evolutionary process fragments.
