by Flavio Oquendo (Editor)

Overview

During the last two decades we have seen tremendous developments within software engineeringresearchandpractice.Theeverincreasingcomplexityofsoftwaresystems andtherevolutionarydevelopmentintheInternethaveledtomanyinterestingchallenges andopportunitiesfornewdevelopmentsinSoftwareProcessTechnology. Started in 1990, the primary goal of the European Workshops on Software P- cessTechnology is to achieve better understanding of the state-of-the-art on all issues related to software process technology, including (but not limited to): process mo- linglanguages, computer-supportedprocessdescription, analysis, reuse, re?nementand enactment, processmonitoring, measurement, management, improvementandevolution, process enactment engines, tools, and environments. Besides the technical viewpoint, the workshops have also taken into account human and social dimensions in software processenactment. The9thEuropeanWorkshoponSoftwareProcessTechnology(EWSPT-9)provided aninternationalforumforresearchersandpractitionersfromacademiaandindustryto discussawiderangeoftopicsintheareaofsoftwareprocesstechnology, andtojointly formulateanagendaforfutureresearchinthis?eld.
