Oikos at the age of three

Abstract

This work describes the history, the present state, and the planned future of the Oikos Project after completing its third year of life. The final goal is to fully specify and enact real software development processes. The approach is based on three different levels: the specification level, the enactment level, and the tool integration level, In the next two years we will concentrate our efforts in two directions: the definition of mechanisms to control the evolution of the software process and the enactment of real instances of software processes.
