The OOSPICE Methodology Component: Creating a CBD Process Standard

  • Chapter
Business Component-Based Software Engineering

Abstract

OSPICE is a collaborative EU project that is developing a CBD capability assessment approach along the lines of ISO 15504. There are several elements to this, one of which is the creation of a new methodology and underpinning metamodel for CBD. This chapter focuses on these latter two components of the overall OOSPICE project. We will describe both the genesis and the results of the process components, their metamodel descriptions and their realization in the construction of a project-specific CBD process. We will also show how these elements are linked to and provide the basis for the Process Reference Model, Assessment Method and Assessment Model.
