Abstract
Works in some software project domains consist of many small projects of which development cycles are relatively quite short and numerous. In such domains, the software development policy such as the work assignment policy needs not only its modeling but also needs the prompt implementation of the model. However, incorporating the implementation into the modeling methodology has not been paid great attention to in the areas of software process. Each organization may have different situations in human resources and tasks as well as practical constraints, and it may not be feasible to devise a single model to cover all policies. In this paper, we do not focus on presenting a universal model for the work assignment policy. Instead, we provide a meta-model based methodology which enables us to develop an extensible model for an organization. In our modeling methodology, the model for the work assignment policy and its implementation are incorporated. We employ UML and ConceptBase. We highlight how a model illustrated in UML is generated in ConceptBase codes. And finally, we introduce our experience from the use of a prototype system in actual software project field.
