Reviews

This book offers a comprehensive body of knowledge related to the Method Engineering discipline. It provides a summary and synthesis of all past efforts in this domain and clarifies the domain terminology. I suggest it to every researcher interested in the art of method design, not only in software engineering but also in other fields. Marko Bajec, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia I am confident this text will prove an invaluable resource for those interested in improving the standard of software development and the resulting software applications. from the foreword by Mary O'Kane, NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer, Sydney, Australia This book deftly balances the advantages of situational method engineering in terms of its practical application, underpinned by the solid theory from worldwide research. I heartily recommend it for both researchers and practitioners. from the foreword by Julian Edwards, Chief Operating Officer, Object Consulting, Sydney, Australia

In 1999, he was voted number 3 in the Who’s Who of Object Technology. Brian has been a member of the Review Panel for the OMG’s Software Process Engineering Model standards initiative and a member of the UML2.0 review team, was General Chair of the IFIP WG8.1 Working Conference on Method Engineering and is Co-Editor of the ISO/IEC 24744 International Standard “Software Engineering Metamodel for Development Methodologies”. Jolita Ralyté is a senior researcher and lecturer at the University of Geneva’s Department of Information Systems. Her research areas include situational method engineering, information systems development methods, information systems evolution and interoperability, requirement engineering, and services science. Currently she is a Vice-Chair of the IFIP WG 8.1 and leads the Method Engineering Task Group within the IFIP WG 8.1. Pär Ågerfalk is a professor at Uppsala University’s Department of Informatics and Media, where he holds the Chair of Computer Science in Intersection with Social Sciences. His research on open source software development, open innovation, globally distributed and flexible software development, conceptual modelling and method engineering has appeared in a number of leading journals and conferences. Matti Rossi is a professor of information systems at Aalto University School of Economics. He has been involved in the development of research prototypes and commercial products, including MetaEdit Personal, a single user CASE tool, and MetaEdit+, a multi-user integrated CASE tool, selected among the three most innovative new software tools at CeBIT 95 by Byte and used for thedevelopment of user interfaces for Nokia’s latest generations of mobile phones.
