Proceedings of the 1st international workshop on software process education, training and professionalism (SPETP 2015)

These Proceedings contain the papers accepted for publication and presentation at the first 1st International Workshop on Software Process Education, Training and Professionalism (SPETP 2015) held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination (SPICE 2015), Gothenburg, Sweden, during June 15-17, 2015. During the 14th International Conference on Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination (SPICE 2014) held in Vilnius, Lithuania, at a post conference dinner, a group of key individuals from education and industry started to discuss the challenges faced for software process education, training and professionalism, especially with the background of the new modes of learning and teaching in higher education. Further discussions held post conference with key players in the relevant professional and personal certification fields led to a consensus that it is time for the industry to rise to the new challenges and set out in a manifesto a common vision for educators and trainers together with a set of recommendations to address the challenges faced. It was therefore agreed co-located the 1st International Workshop on Software Process Education, Training and Professionalism with the 15th International Conference on Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination. This workshop focused on the new challenges for and best practices in software process education, training and professionalism. The foundation for learning of software process should be part of a university or college education however software process is often treated as ‘add one’ module to the core curriculum. In a professional context, whilst there have been a number of initiatives focused on the certification related to the software process professional these have had little success for numerous reasons. Cooperation in education between industry, academia and professional bodies is paramount, together with the recognition of how the education world is changing and how education is resourced, delivered (with online and open learning) and taken up. Over the next 10 years on-line learning is projected to grow fifteen fold, accounting for 30% of all education provision, according to the recent report to the European Commission on New modes of learning and teaching in higher education. It is a great pleasure to see the varied contributions to this 1st International Workshop on Software Process Education, Training and Professionalism and we hope that our joint dedication, passion and innovation will lead to success for the profession through the publication of the manifesto as a key outcome from the workshop. On behalf of the SPETP 2015 conference Organizing Committee, we would like to thank all participants. Firstly all the authors, whose quality work is the essence of the conference, and the members of the Program Committee, who helped us with their expertise and diligence in reviewing all of the submissions. As we all know, organizing a conference requires the effort of many individuals. We wish to thank also all the members of our Organizing Committee, whose work and commitment were invaluable

Education Capability Assessment and Improvement

The purpose of this paper is to address the problem of quality of education system.Introduced here, SPICE conformant education process c apability maturity model is based on process CMM elaborated by world-wide software engineering community , namely ISO/IEC 15504 that defines the capability dimension and the requirements for process definitio

eINTERASIA Project: IT Transfer Concept for Adaptation and Dissemination of Innovative European Research Results in Central Asian Countries

The paper presents an overview of the eINTERASIA international project aimed at supporting international cooperation with Central Asian countries by transfer, adaptation and dissemination of European research results in the area of Information Technology and Applied Software. Information Technology Transfer Concept (TTC) based on InnoSPICE approach and Capability Maturity Model has been developed. The concept of showroom as part of the implementation of TTC has been introduced in the selected Central Asian countries. Technological platforms for demonstrators of Virtual Reality-Based scenarios from Fraunhofer IFF were adapted and installed in the region of Central Asia. Several EU research projects are selected for adaptation and validation in Central Asian countries. Special attention is devoted to demonstrate transfer and adaptation processes in the area of web-based transport logistics

Enterprise SPICE Based Education Capability Maturity Model

The purpose of this paper is to address the problem of qquality of education system using SPICE - based model from software engineering communit

Security Process Capability Model Based on ISO/IEC 15504 Conformant Enterprise SPICE

In the context of modern information systems, security has become one of the most critical quality attributes. The purpose of this paper is to address the problem of quality of information security. An approach to solve this problem is based on the main assumption that security is a process oriented activity. According to this approach, product quality can be achieved by means of process quality - process capability. Introduced in the paper, SPICE conformant information security process capability model is based on process capability modeling elaborated by world-wide software engineering community during the last 25 years, namely ISO/IEC 15504 that defines the capability dimension and the requirements for process definition and domain independent integrated model for enterprise-wide assessment and Enterprise SPICE improvemen

Technology Transfer Model and Web-Based Solutions for Transport Logistics Service Providers

This paper describes the approach aimed at supporting industrial enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in solving research and technological problems in their business sector of transport logistics services. The approach is focused on strengthening SMEs technological facilities and creating a win-win situation for the actors of the global transport logistics chain (shipping lines, container terminal operators, freight integrators, transportation brokers, etc) through the use of technology transfer model and innovative Internet-based information technology (IT) solutions

Towards Knowledge and Information Technology Transfer Concept and Its Validation

One of the main results obtained within 7th Framework Programme international project eINTERASIA is presented in the paper. The paper is devoted to the creating and validation of process-oriented knowledge and Information Technology (IT) transfer concept. Several technology transfer process scenarios have been elaborated. They are based on the questionnaires developed according to innoSPICE methodology: end users reaction on selected information technologies / solutions to be transferred from European Union (EU) to Central Asian Countries. The results of validations have been processed, analyzed and presented in the form of diagram

Validation of InnoSPICE for Technology Transfer

Innovation and technology transfer consist mainly of process-oriented activities and can be described in process-oriented terms by an innovation and technology transfer process capability model such as InnoSPICE. To verify such a thesis, an extended validation of the InnoSPICE adequacy for different factual innovation and technology transfer activities is needed. The purpose of this paper is to validate the InnoSPICE model for technology transfer led by a technology developer based on capability assessment of technology transfer process for several various research results
