[epf-dev] Alternate SPEM 2.0 submission
|
Hi EPF Content Committers
I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on SPEM 2.0 progress at
the OMG.
As I had indicated in an earlier post to this newsgroup (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epf-dev/msg00312.html),
Osellus, with support from Sun Microsystems and Microsoft had asked for a
single meeting cycle extension (about 3 months) at the last OMG Technical
Committee Meeting in St. Louis.
The OMG unanimously approved this extension to provide an opportunity for the
presentation of an alternative SPEM 2.0 submission. Borland who was a
co-submitter of IBM-led submission also decided to join us as a co-submitter of
this alternate Borland/Osellus/Microsoft/Sun submission. This proposal uses
some concepts of the previous proposal co-submitted by Adaptive, Borland, ESI, Fujitsu,
IBM, Osellus and Softeam.
A copy of this alternate submission is attached. It has also been
uploaded to the OMG server, http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/06-06-01.
We are seeking the feedback of software process experts and end users
on this submission. We would like to invite EPF content committers, and in
particular the OpenUp committers, to provide your feedback on this
meta-model. We are more than open to consider your suggestions and
recommendations to make this proposal more applicable and
meaningful. We are prepared to commit the necessary resources to
take a representative sample of the processes and methodologies of your
choosing to validate our proposed SPEM 2.0 meta-model. To the extent that
you may be open to this idea, we would like to incorporate parts of your
methodologies as examples in the next draft of the proposal.
Our goal in this submission is to avoid unnecessary complexity.
The submission maintains a balance between process content and process
workflow, is backwards compatible with SPEM 1.1, is completely methodology
agnostic, and addresses the increasingly strategic differentiator of process
enactment. Our submission is not restricted by the capabilities of any existing
commercially available tool in the market. However, Osellus is fully
committed to offer the required toolware to model and enact SPEM 2.0, once the
specification is ratified, irrespective of the form it takes.
Thanks,
Kamal.
