Representation of some principles of the Agile Manifesto in the Semat Essence Kernel

Resumen

Agile Manifesto (AM) is a set of principles for guiding the agile software development, which is an alternative to the traditional software development process. Some attempts can be identified in the state of the art for adapting processes to the agile context, but such adaptation is difficult because the representation of the agile manifesto principles is still underdeveloped in a common ground and interpretation of the agile manifesto principles is still subjective. Semat (Software Engineering Method and Theory) Essence kernel has a common ground for representing any software development endeavor. In this paper, we represent some principles of the agile manifesto by using the language provided by the Semat Essence kernel in a common ground. We also define some constraints in OCL (Object Constraint Language) for enhancing the Semat Essence kernel, so we can introduce time management in our representation. Such a representation will allow us for adapting and assessing different processes in an agile context.
