Full Life-Cycle Support for End-to-End Processes

Fully supporting end-to-end processes requires combining service orientation-which takes an engineering approach to reducing the gap between software requirements and implementation-with model-driven design-which addresses the same problem in terms of well-understood mathematical structures. The Centre of Innovation for Service-Centered Continuous Engineering (www.scce.info) adopts a holistic approach to closing the classical gap between business-driven requirements and IT-based realization. We provide a seamless method and a matching toolset based on the Java Application Building Center (jABC) framework (www. jabc.de) to cover the business development phase and the business-to-IT transition. The NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supports IT development and deployment (www.netbeans.org).
