Abstract
A short description is given of software process models and the issues they address. An outline is given of the process steps involved in the spiral model, an evolving risk-driven approach that provides a framework for guiding the software process, and its application to a software project is shown. A summary is given of the primary advantages and implications involved in using the spiral model and the primary difficulties in using it at its current incomplete level of elaboration. >

From Design to Application of a Decision-support System for Integrated River-basin Management

TL;DR: This paper identifies the possible organizational, technical, and scientific factors that may form an obstacle for the design and application of a Decision-Support System (DSS) for river-basin management by analyzing the interaction between the different participants in the Elbe DSS project.

Supporting Collaborative Tailoring

TL;DR: It turns out that there is a need as well as an opportunity for a broader technological support of processes of technology appropriation including better means of communicating and negotiating about aspects of the joint use of a software artefact.

Model-based approaches to support process improvement in complex product development

David C. Wynn
TL;DR: It is argued that process modelling and simulation can support the improvement of complex product development processes and that iteration is a key driver of design process behaviour which cannot be fully reflected in a mechanistic model.

CASE: a testbed for modeling, measurement and management

TL;DR: CASE aims at greater automation of software production and the software improvement paradigms of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Software Process Capability Maturity Model (CMM), and the University of Mary-land's Tailoring a Measurement Environment (TAME) project are examined.

Managing the development of large software systems: concepts and techniques

W. W. Royce
TL;DR: I have had various assignments during the past years, mostly concerned with the development of software packages for spacecraft mission planning, commanding and post-flight analysis, and have become prejudiced by these experiences.

Software processes are software too

TL;DR: The major theme of the meeting is the exploration of the importance of process as a vehicle for improving both the quality of software products and the way in which we develop and evolve them.
