Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The need for organizations to operate in changing environments is addressed by proposing an approach that integrates organizational development with information system (IS) development taking into account changes in the application context of the solution. This is referred to as Capability Driven Development (CDD). A meta-model representing business and IS designs consisting of goals, key performance indicators, capabilities, context and capability delivery patterns, is being proposed. The use of themeta-model is validated in three industrial case studies as part of an ongoing collaboration project, whereas one case is presented in the paper. Issues related to the use of the CDD approach, namely, CDD methodology and tool support are also discussed.

Deliverable 1.2 : Initial version of requirements specification for CDD
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The CaaS project will elaborate the Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach that will allow digital enterprises to exploit the notion of 'capability' as a means of both designing for services and with services. This deliverable defines an initial set of requirements for CDD. These requirements are provided by the industrial partners through exploration of their use cases. The goal of this deliverable is to identify potential benefits that the CaaS approach could bring to the use cases as well the features to be included the CDD methodology. The requirements are elicited from the use case partners during semi-structured interviews. They are documented in a form of goal models, actor models and concept models for each partner separately. Information documented in these models is used to define envisioned capabilities to be design and delivered during the project as well as to establish the scope of each use case. The use case scope definition focuses on use case goals, causes of capability delivery variability, capability delivery context, functions to be provided in the use case as well as potential capability delivery adjustments. The use case specific models are combined together to obtain a preliminary set of general requirements for CDD. These requirements show CDD goals, types of stakeholders, types of context and types of adjustments. The deliverable ends with concluding remarks about the partners’ expectations for CDD. The requirements for the use cases described in this deliverable will be further elaborated in the final requirements document deliverable D1.4 and will be iteratively refined during the use case elaboration performed in work packages WP2, WP3 and WP4.

CaaS Deliverable 3.3 : Context aware collaborative software development case validation report for the CaaS approach
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This deliverable reports on the validation of the CDD method and CDD environment tools done by applying them in the CLMS use case as part of WP3. The validation addresses four areas. Firstly, the use case goals (defined in D3.2) are revised and their fulfilment is examined. Secondly, questionnaires have been used to examine the CDD methods usefulness, ease of use, ease of transfer and the user’s intention to use the method. Similarly, questionnaires has been used to evaluate the CDD environment in the form the of CDT, CPP and CNA tools. Thirdly, a use case checklist has been produced that describe the current state of the implementation. Fourth, experiences and points for improvements have been documented based on the work within the use case. The validation has shown that the CDD methodology and tools have been successfully used in the use case. The use case goals have been met, either by means of the implementation done with the CDD environment, or indirectly by the use of the CDD methodology. Even though the CDD methodology and environment used in the case was not the final ones, the questionnaires show that the CDD methodology and environment have been used and are deemed of high usefulness in the case. Points for future improvement have been documented for both the method and tools. To some extent the special needs of method components have been covered by method extensions already suggested by the WP3 participants. The use case checklist shows that support for the three identified capabilities has been implemented with the use of the CDD environment components, namely, CDT, CCP and CNA.

Combining Tools to Design and Develop Software Support for Capabilities
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Analyzing, designing and implementing software systems based on the concept of capabilities have several benefits, such as the ability to design efficient monitoring of capabilities and their execution context. Today, there exist new model-driven methods and development tools that support capability-based analysis, design, and implementation. However, there are also a plethora of existing efficient development tools that are currently in use by organizations. In this article, we examine how a new set of capability based tools, the Capability Driven Development (CDD) environment, can be combined with model-driven development tools to leverage both novel capability-based functionality and the proven functionality of existing tools. We base the examination on a case study where an existing model-driven tool is combined with the CDD environment.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organizations have the need to continuously adjust their capabilities to changes in the business context. If existing IT systems and associated development methods does not support this adjustment they need to be changed to do so. However, there exist specialized methods and tools that allow the design, and run-time monitoring of context information. In this paper an approach that allows existing systems to be extended with the management of context information is presented. The approach allows organizations to analyze the potential effect and effort of combing existing systems and tools with specialized tools that handle context information. The purpose of providing means for the integrated use of existing systems and specialized tools is to leverage the strength of both. The approach in grounded in and illustrated by a case of industrial symbiosis.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The notion of capability has emerged in Information System engineering as the means to support development of context dependent organizational solutions and supporting IT applications. To this end the Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach has been proposed. CDD currently focuses on designing and running applications that need to be adjusted according to changes in context, which can be seen as capability support on an operational level. This paper proposes a method component of CDD for strategic capability modeling in order to support business planning. The proposed component is to be used to analyze the organization’s capabilities on a strategic level, including aspects of collaboration with other enterprises. Its application in four companies is outlined and one application of capability design for the industrial symbiosis platform presented in detail.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The business environments of today are changing rapidly, entailing complex anddynamic organizational constellations. Enterprises operating in these conditions needto have the capability to deliver their services in a variety of business contexts withsustainable quality and moreover to leverage them to competitive advantage. Latelythe notion of capability has gained a growing attention, due to a number of factors:the notion directs business investment focus, it can be used as a baseline for businessplanning, and it leads directly to service specification and design.
