The objective of the demonstration day was twofold: to evaluate how different systems and environments support/guide users in the fulfilment of their project activities, and to bring forth technical issues identified by the different implementers in the context of their formalisms and systems. A scenario example was defined to represent issues in the life of real projects and to serve as a common example for demonstration purposes. This document gives some background to the scenario, briefly describes the systems demonstrated, and provides a commentary about the demonstrations. Architecture depictions of those systems appear in the Appendix.","PeriodicalId":337172,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

We suggest that it would be most difficult to write clear and effective process definitions in such a language. Thus, the prospects for continuing with this line of research seem bleak. We suggest that, instead we should model software processes using a variety of modelling formalisms, and we should implement software process execution systems as distributed software systems. These systems should be composed of a heterogeneous mix of process fragments, written in different languages designed to support the gamut of different specialized tasks that we now understand to be necessary.","PeriodicalId":337172,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The organizational structure within which the process executes has a profound effect on its outcome. The communication and interaction problems associated with human involvement in development cannot be addressed by process improvement alone. The solution must include organizational improvement as well. Because organizational factors are complex, their analysis is a non-trivial task. Methods are needed for improving both organizations and processes, as well as the relationships between them. The aim of the OPT approach is the improvement of software development through improvement of organizational structures and processes. The approach is an iterative improvement method. The steps include modeling the relationship between the organization and the process, measuring various properties of this relationship, and choosing organizational and process changes to be implemented.","PeriodicalId":337172,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
