Re: [epf-dev] Do we have the BUP model tailored to the development of EP

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bhuricha,

We're glad you are interested in participating
in this project!
For EPF, we are following OpenUP/Basic
(formerly called BUP) and its principles, so in terms of your research,
you may want to use OpenUP/Basic for your simulation and modeling.

We are essentially following OpenUP/Basic,
and we also use the project infrastructure and high level process (governance)
provided by Eclipse Organization. For this variant, we've documented guidelines,
created plans and documents as you can find in CVS (under design and docs
folders) and Web site, but haven't captured this variant as a plug-in yet.


A few examples of process and tools
support:
- Vision document for EPF Composer (http://www.eclipse.org/epf/tool_component/tool_vision.php)
- Bugzilla as the Work Items List 
- CVS as the version control system
- Guidelines for Change Management,
Requirements Management, Configuration Management, Text Style Guide, Plug-in
Development Guide (all available in CVS and Web site)
- Project Plans, meeting minutes and
assessment review (also available through Web site).
- Before donation to Eclipse, in IBM
we used tools like RequisitePro, ClearQuest, ClearCase, Rational Software
Architect and others. Also, we created various documents, including use-case
specifications for the tool (although at this time we haven't made this
documentation part of the donated material).

As you asked, Per Kroll (IBM) leads
the project, supported by other committers customizing/applying the process
needed by this project.

Please let us know what areas you are
interested in or type of help you can provide.
And feel free to bring this to discussion
during the next face-to-face meeting in Vancouver, BC. -- or via this forum.

Subject	[epf-dev] Do we have the BUP model tailored to the development of        EPF Project?

Dear All,

  I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science at Portland State University.
 Over here we do research on software process simulation and modeling.
 I am interested in modeling and simulating the software development
process used by the EPF project.  My idea is to try to convert the
information for the EPF, BUP or potentially the SPEM2.0 into the model
that we have.  Our model is primary used to help executive and process
engineer evaluate the project performance using the software process model.

  I would like to participate in the process engineering team of the
EPF in designing the BUP for the EPF project.  I would like to see
if the simulation model can help with the management decision in the future.
 

  Could you please let me know who is working on managing the project
and process of the EPF project?

Best Regards,
Bhuricha
