Introduction

SEMAT began in 2009 with a Call for Action anda Vision Statement.

After 4 years we look back on what we have and

have not achieved.

We want to find solutions to issues and

challenges SEMAT is facing today.

And establish ambitious, yet feasible, goals for

the future.


2/21


Software Method Crisis

Abundance of unique methods that are hard tocompare in the lack of a theoretical basis

Gap between academic research and its practical

application in industry

Vision

Create the kernel allowing people to describe their

current and future practices and methods using a

common vocabulary and framework

So that they can be compared, evaluated, composed,

simulated, applied, measured, taught and researched.

Three-Year Plan: 2011-2013

1. Establish the kernel and the language through OMG.

2. Develop the kernel-based tools (including open source).

3. Set up a practice marketplace.

4. Develop curricula.

5. Write text books and papers.

6. Promote the kernel-related research.

Practice Area

OMGs open standard will create a new ecosystem for practand will evolve in response to users requirements.

SEMAT plans to build a practice marketplace.

Both existing and new practices will be written in the Essence

It will be a tournament where proven as well as innovative neeasily accessible.

To get this started, we need first to accelerate the developmeDevelopment Guide and Essence User Guide.

We hope major tool vendors will build Essence-based tools their existing or new tools.

Both SEMAT and the Essence users success should be measBFH metrics).

SEMAT needs funding.

SEMAT is in imminent need of more participants competent ibased intellectual assets (practices, guides, white papers, glostudies, books, tools, e-learning contents, test banks, etc.)

It became evident that there is a limit to securing qualified exkeeps depending on only volunteers.

We are on the verge of slipping into a vicious cycle of slow asto stagnated user grow, then to demotivated volunteers.

SEMAT Inc. needs to generate revenues and secure sponsor Revenues may come from membership fees in return to the p

valuable assets, shared profits from asset sales, ads in the SEM

The new SEMAT Website should support social networking, ce-commerce.

Conclusion

Watts Humphrey may have shown real

forethought ahead of the first SEMATmeeting in Zurich, March 2010, when hesaid: This meeting in Zurich is likely to be ahistoric occasion much like the 1968 NATOsession in Garmish.

SEMAT results are a collective effort fromthe community for the community.

Working together, we are refoundingsoftware engineering.
