Abstract
To understand the software development process in practice and be able to transfer knowledge from large-scale software development projects to academic basic education as well as to other industrial software projects, it is necessary to gather experiences where those systems are built. This paper describes the development process of one particular Swedish company, NobelTech Systems AB, where they decided to design a system family of distributed solutions instead of specific systems to provide a platform for building similar systems over a long period of time.
