This position paper summarises some critical arguments on the Rational Unified Process (RUP). In particular, claims advertising the RUP e.g. to be iterative and architecture-centric are discussed and its core concepts like phase, iteration, workflow and milestone are investigated. It is argued that their definitions and relationships to each other lack clear structure and are too complex and ov...

This paper presents a controlled experiment study, investigating the impact of design techniques on a central and critical activity in designing ObjectOriented systems, behaviour allocation, implemented by assigning responsibilities to classes. Two alternative designing methods were used; Rational Unified Process (RUP) versus ICONIX method. Two groups of undergraduate students participated, eac...

As you may know, the Rational Unified Process®, or RUP®, is a widely used software process framework that can be tailored to your process needs and can accommodate other techniques. Scrum is a collection of interesting project management patterns used to wrap agile software projects. This article introduces some important characteristics of Scrum and presents techniques on how you can add Scrum...

This paper presents and discusses some interesting findings from teaching Agile methods and modelling in a typical university at an undergraduate level software engineering course. The students who took part in this study had been exposed to a few hour lectures on Agile methods and other traditional methods like the RUP (rational unified process). A simple modelling questionnaire was presented ...

The quality of reusable elements must be rigorously monitored and guaranteed before they can be reused, this is known as Certification. High levels of certification of these elements generate trust and stimulate reuse. In this paper we describe the development of a tool based on quality oriented reuse strategies. To this end, we take as starting point an ontology that rigorously correlates the ...

— This is one of several articles that aims to disseminate the research results in developing advanced doctoral paper entitled: Model of System for Technological Surveillance for multiple application to measure the technological gap in Colombian companies. This paper is related to the design of Technological Surveillance, following the Rational Unified Process for software development, commonly...

trusted 2 This paper traces the approach Unisys 3D Blueprinting used to evaluate the Rational Unified Process, or RUP, in support of the Unisys 3D Blueprint, a business and systems modeling architecture that integrates business vision and IT execution to drive organizational agility.

Management of project planning, monitoring, scheduling, estimation and risk management are critical issues faced by a project manager during development life cycle of software. In RUP, project management is considered as core discipline whose activities are carried in all phases during development of software products. On other side service monitoring is considered as best practice of SOA which...

Sendo o metamodelo Software Process Engineering Metamodel (SPEM) promovido no âmbito da OMG como norma para especificação de processos de desenvolvimento de software, é essencial a sua comparação com os processos existentes. Este artigo analisa a expressividade e adequabilidade dos conceitos de suporte, de componentes e do ciclo de vida do processo segundo a terminologia SPEM, através de uma co...

We use development methodology and software development processes to develop software effectively. But several processes such as CBD96, Catalysis, and RUP do not offer the detailed descriptions for effective execution of some activities or tasks. In this paper, we propose an approach to substitute plug-in for existing process of insufficient description and definition using reusable minimal ext...
