The DeltaProcess approach to systematic software process change management

Software process models play a crucial role in managing and controlling the software development process. This work introduces the DeltaProcess approach for process model comparison, which makes it possible to compare versions of a process model with high flexibility regarding the schema and the types of changes that must be identified. By allowing for full versioning of a process model, DeltaProcess strongly contributes to systematic change management of large and complex process descriptions.
