Model Representation through UML and SPEM

Establishing strategic fit dynamically between information systems and information technologies for having a well managed IT acquisition life cycle in the organization is quite challenging. Despite advancements in software engineering process modeling techniques and the existence of maturity in handling multi-disciplinary challenges in designing appropriate information systems, there is growing popularity in developing model-driven methods. This chapter discusses application of a model-driven method that aims to use software engineering process modeling. It also aims to showcase the appropriateness of the application of the model in software engineering. The chapter discusses the role of SDLC-driven approaches for IT services acquisitions and relates to the UML and SEPM principles while discussing the deliverables of the model.
