Process modelling, delegation and control in global software development

Abstract

Owing to globalisation, it became necessary for software companies to take advantage of computing skills distributed worldwide. One of the resulting problems is the difficulty to model tasks to be assigned remotely. We know how to explicitly define tasks and working methods using process technologies; thus, processes and their artefacts become important factors to be considered. This paper proposes a new approach of process modelling for its remote performance. The main advantage of this approach is to maintain collaboration among autonomous Process-centred Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) during process performance. An implementation and discussion are proposed to validate the work.

Knowledge-based modelling applied to synucleinopathies

“…If the significant potentials of telemedicine to assist in the management guidance and outpatient care are to be realized, then research strategies need to be undertaken to improve disease diagnosis and monitoring. However, the modalities of such an approach should be clarified so as to allow greater security, flexibility and ergonomic functionalities [41] in responding to the pragmatic needs of medical procedures [42] and efficient use of experienced health care providers [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

Using design languages in model-based mechatronic system design processes

“…Important future considerations concern the connections between the different modelling environments, such as block diagrams and requirements diagrams, as these connections are not obvious and require clear interfaces and distributed development due to globalisation (Tiako, 2011). Another aspect that is already being considered, for instance, in IT, and should attract greater attention in multi-disciplinary product engineering, is agent-based modelling and simulation (Macal and North, 2010).…”
