Abstract

Research and development (R&D) activities are employed to find new theories commonly derived in software products; but the gap between the proof-of-concept software and the final implementation is commonly hard to narrow. In a previous work, a combination of the COMET (collaborative object modeling and architectural design method) and OCEP (Open Community engagement model) methodologies was successfully applied to the development of a person re-identification system. In this paper, the COMET-OCEP software process is conceptually related to other processes, and its guidelines are detailed. Additionally, the advantages of the COMET-OCEP process are highlighted through the analysis of a test case.
