Hans-Juergen Kugler's Profile

In this section the link from modelling to model-based architecture is made. Software architecture is introduced as a new concept. AUTOSAR uses this to structure vehicle architectures to achieve compatibility and thus complexity reduction in industry.

In this section mathematics-based modelling an corresponding tools are presented.

Example for modelling properties of systems

Yet another concept: "lean". Whilst agility is about rapid iterations, "lean" is about avoiding waste, and therefore limiting the amount of rework.

Lean software development applies more to philosophy, practices and attitudes among the developer stakeholders, than to any of the statistical/mathematical techniques. Here we are looking at the behavioural patterns that make up good processes and that will - in the long run - amenable to the six sigma and other techniques for optimisation.

The following reference is to a site containing significant amounts of good material concerning lean software development.

The following reference is to a presentation that outlines the CMMI, why it is needed and what its benefits can be.

It also leads into agile development.
