Abstract

In software development projects, process execution typically lacks automated guidance and support, and process models remain rather abstract. The environment is sufficiently dynamic that unforeseen situations can occur due to various events that lead to potential aberrations and process governance issues. To alleviate this problem, a dynamic exception handling approach for software engineering processes is presented that incorporates event detection and processing facilities and semantic classification capabilities with a dynamic process-aware information system. A scenario is used to illustrate how this approach supports exception handling with different levels of available contextual knowledge in concordance with software engineering environment relations to the development process and the inherent dynamicity of such relations.
