Quantitative Modeling for Incremental Software Process Control

A software development process modeling framework is constructed under the formalism of state modeling. The approach interconnects instances of a general development-activity model into a composite system. Simulation results are presented, and implications for control-theoretic decision support are briefly discussed.
