Description
Springer Situational Method Engineering Fundamentals And Experiences2007 Edition by Jolita Ralyte Sjaak Brinkkemper Brian Henderson-Sellers
Over the last decade Method Engineering defined as the engineering discipline to design construct and adapt methods including supportive tools has emerged as the research and application area for using methods for systems development. This book contains the papers from the IFIP Working Group 8.1 conference on Situational Method Engineering.
