Process-Centered Knowledge Organization for Software Engineering

Contents

This paper argues for using process models as the primary means to structure and organize knowledge in software organizations. We discuss how process models can support project planning and illustrate how a process-centered organization of knowledge helps the individual developer to find appropriate background information for his current task during process enactment. The paper concludes with an overview on our MILOS system: a process-centered, Internet-based, knowledge management and process support environment.
