Objectives and Approach

The BOOTSTRAP project is concerned with the technology transfer software management techniques, and aims to:

• perform studies and experiments in the context of software management, software technology transfer and education in advanced industrial software engineering
• raise awareness in higher and middle management in industry that software development and its management forms a technological and managerial discipline in its own right and of increasing strategic importance
• conduct a focused study, the results of which will form a sound basis for subsequent R&D programmes on technology transfer.

BOOTSTRAP aims to address a relevant large community in European industry through:

• the wider distribution of informative material, including public relations communications
• a phased approach over two years, starting with building a sound technical and managerial foundation, moving on to performing limited-scale experiments, and finally communicating the results to the wider community of users in Europe.

Exploitation

BOOTSTRAP has provided a software development process assessment method and is actively exploiting this commercially. Information dissemination through conferences and workshops is in progress.
