Over the years, a variety of software process models have been designed
to structure, describe and prescribe the software systems construction
process. Most recently, software process modeling increasingly deals
with new challenges raised by the tests that the software industry has
to stand. This volume brings together experts to discuss relevant
results in software process modeling and expresses their personal view
of this field. The book focuses on new aspects of software process
modeling. Specifically, it deals with socio-technological aspects,
process modeling for new development types (such as open source software
and dependability applications) and organization change management.
