TLDR
This paper motivates the need for explicit process models, surveys existing languages to model processes, discusses tools to support model usage, and proposes a research agenda for future software process research.Abstract:
Developing and maintaining software systems involves a variety of highly interrelated activities The discipline of software engineering studies processes of both product engineering and process engineering Product engineering aims at developing software products of high quality at reasonable cost Process engineering in contrast aims at choosing those product engineering processes appropriate for a given set of project goals and characteristics as well as improving the existing knowledge about those processes Explicit models of both types of processes help a software development organization to gain competitive advantage This paper motivates the need for explicit process models, surveys existing languages to model processes, discusses tools to support model usage, and proposes a research agenda for future software process researchread more

Three Approaches for Formalizing Informal Process Descriptions
TL;DR: A study is presented in which an informal description of an IBM Cleanroom process was transformed into a formal Multi-View Process Modeling Language (MVP-L) model, and three different formalization approaches were evaluated of which concept-based modeling turned out to be advantageous over the others with respect to it's complexity and necessary rework.

Towards software process modules
TL;DR: The hypothesis of this paper is that views are the process modules to be reused, and are less complex and easier to maintain than a comprehensive process model.
Dissertation
Style and Meta-Style : another Way to Reuse Software Architecture Evolution
TL;DR: A meta-evolution style is introduced which specifies the core conceptual elements for software architecture evolution modeling in order to address the difference in modeling concepts among evolution styles approaches and introduces a new methodology to develop a multi-view and multi- abstraction evolution style.

Managing Software Projects by Structured Project Planning
A. Cimitile,Giuseppe Visaggio +1 more
TL;DR: The handling of fuzzy activities is proposed, by means of which the problems of recycles and reprocessing are solved and these activities also provide a better management of the execution times of the project.

Introducing Quality System in Small and Medium Enterprises: An Experience Report
Lerina Aversano,Gerardo Canfora,Giovanni Capasso,Giuseppe A. Di Lucca,Corrado Aaron Visaggio +4 more
TL;DR: A lightweight approach is proposed as a solution to either avoid or reduce drawbacks of the introduction of a Quality System in Small and Medium Enterprises and consists of a method for redesigning processes and a software system to control and monitoring processes' execution.

Out of the Crisis
TL;DR: Deming's theory of management based on the 14 Points for Management is described in Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982 as mentioned in this paper, where he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.

A spiral model of software development and enhancement
TL;DR: 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.

Process modeling
TL;DR: In this article, software process modeling will be used as an example application for describing the current status of process modeling, issues for practical use, and the research questions that remain ahead.
