| Abstract | A Software Development Process (SDP) consists of a set of activities performed during the development of software from initial statement of requirements needed to finish a high software product. In order to deliver high quality software systems within a budget and on schedule, SDP must be planned and controlled. However, planning and controlling for large software products have been a frustrating task for the project manager due to many artifacts or deliverables being produced by many agents. Through provision of an explicit representation, SDP will become more clearly understood. Communication and cooperation can also be improved, resulting in an overall improvemenL of the effectiveness of the process. A new approach is proposed to employ Conceptual Graphs (CGs) for modeling SDP, in order to describe all its process elements in a graphical notation which is readily understood by humans. A general CG framework is defined which can represent and manipulate SDP components as encapsulated concepts and model the four perspectives which are widely accepted as being necessary for modeling: Functional, Behavioral, Organizational and Informational perspectives. The new approach is compared with other approaches by means of the standard Software Process Modeling Examples (ISPW'6 and ISPW'7). |
