Abstract
Development processes are inherently difficult to manage. Tools for managing development processes have to cope with continuous process evolution. The management system AHEAD is based on long-term experience gathered in different disciplines (software, mechanical, or chemical engineering). AHEAD provides an integrated set of tools for evolving both process definitions and their instances. This paper describes a demonstration of the AHEAD system which shows the benefits of process evolution support from the user’s point of view.
The work presented in this paper was carried out in the Collaborative Research Center IMPROVE which is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
