We believe that all software development processes can
be described by a single abstraction that accounts for the
great variety of processes that exist, outcomes of interest
and project-specific factors that occur in real-world
projects. The abstraction is best represented as a conceptual
model, the components of which are theoretical constructs,
or models, in their own right. We believe that such a model
will facilitate model building to solve individual problems,
provide support for empirical research and, in the long term,
provide a tool for predictions based on understanding. We
are taking the first steps in building ...
