This paper describes a system that supports softwaredevelopment processes in virtual software corporations. A virtual software corporation consists of a set of enterprisesthat cooperate in projects to fulfill customer needs. Contracts are negotiated in the whole lifecycle of asoftware development project. The negotiations really influence the performance of a company. Therefore, it isuseful to support negotiations and planning decisions with software agents. Our approach integrates software agentapproaches for negotiation support with flexible multiserver workflow engines.
Coordinating distributed processes, especially engineering and software design processes, has been a research topic for some time now. Several approaches have been published that aim at coordinating large projects in general, and large software development processes in specific. However, most of these approaches focus on the technical part of the design process and omit management activities like planning and scheduling the project, or monitoring it during execution. In this paper, we focus on coordinating the management activities that accompany the technical software design process. We state the requirements for a Software Engineering Environm ent (SEE) accommodating management, and we describe a possible architecture for such an SEE.
Die Entwicklung und Wartung von Software-Systemen wird ständig komplexer, da die entwickelte Software selbst immer komplexer und umfangreicher wird. Daher bietet sich zur Entlastung der Projektleiter, Projektmanager und weiterer Projektmitarbeiter eine Rechnerunterstützung der Software-Entwicklung und -wartung an. So können sie einen Überblick über den gesamten Prozess bekommen und diesen optimieren. Eine Möglichkeit der Unterstützung liefert die Modellierung des Software-Entwicklungsprozesses. Um einen Software-Entwicklungsprozess modellieren zu können, müssen die notwendigen Basisstrukturen identifiziert und bereitgestellt werden, was Thema dieser Arbeit ist.
