Abstract

Software development paradigms currently used within industry are based on established models of the software life cycle. As technology has evolved and become more accessible, more flexible approaches to the development of software systems have been advocated. Several new models have evolved over the passed ten years based on more powerful software engineering tools and more sophisticated development methodologies. Metamodels, introduced within this paper, provide a more flexible approach for managing and controlling the software engineering process and are based on the integration of several software development paradigms. Allowing alternatives to be represented within one metamodel enables managers t
