Agenda

PROS = Research Center on Software Production MethodsA specialized research institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València

+ 50 Researchers: Working on the study and creation of new processes, methods and strategies in order to support the software production process from a rigorous, reliable and industrial-oriented perspective.

What is PROS?

What is PROS? Mission and vision

Mission“To improve software production methods, providing model-driven methods and testing techniques to develop high-quality software in a systematic and productive way”

Vision“To reach the highest level of excellence in research on Model-Driven Development of Industrial Software and to become a leading center of reference with great impact on economic and social development at the regional, national and international level.

What is PROS? Our Objectives

To make research excellence productive by leading a high-quality technology transfer that promotes the creation of technology-oriented companies

To develop Information Systems Engineering and to extend the application of Model-driven Software development to several domains (Organizational Systems, Bioinformatics, Ambient Intelligence, Ubiquitous Computing, Software Testing, Business Pproject Management and Web Engineering)

To train the best researchers in the Pros research areas with the goal of promoting research excellence

To lead and participate in research projects of great relevance To promote the dissemination of Software Engineering in the

academic research community as well as in industry and society

TimeProcess + PROS = TechnoGram

The practice: a succesful Process Management tool The theory: applying sound Information Systems for constructing an effective

and efficient PM tool

The question/problem: How to improve the quality of an industrial PM tool?

The “Joint” Solution: TecnoGram!!! Ontological Commitment: Improved Process Model Abstractions Advanced User Interfaces design and implementation for creating and

visualizing Process Model Abstractions Metamodeling for effective tool support MDD techniques for assessing correctness between concepts and

software representations Advanced process data management and High-performance query
