The SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability
dEtermination) Project is a joint effort by the ISO and IEC to
create an international standard for software process assessment.
This book covers both the theory of SPICE and its practical
applications, including the lessons learned from the SPICE trials.
It includes a valuable automated tool on CD-ROM to help you apply
the concepts presented in the book.
The text shows the evolution of the most recent developments in the
SPICE project. It documents the major products and the empirical
evaluations that have been conducted thus far. The book is jointly
written by the key experts involved in the SPICE project. The
theory chapters describe the rationale behind the architecture and
the contents of the V1.0 and V2.0 document set and how to interpret
them. The remaining chapters describe the applications and how that
make use of the theory behind them.

Khaled El Emam obtained his PhD from the Department of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering, King's College, the University of
London (UK) in 1994. He was previously a research scientist at the
Centre de recherche informatique de Montreal (CRIM) in Canada.
Currently he is the head of the Quantitative Methods Group at the
Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering in
Germany. El Emam is also the founding and current editor of the
IEEE TCSE Software Process Newsletter.
He is a member of the Core Trials Team of ISO's SPICE Project,
which is empirically evaluating the emerging International
Standard. He has previously worked in both small and large software
research and development projects for organizations such as Toshiba
International Company and Honeywell Control Systems. He has
published more than forty articles on software engineering
measurement, empirical evaluation in software engineering, software
process improvement, and requirements engineering.
Jean-Normand Drouin has more than 12 years experience as a software
engineer at Bell Canada, the largest Telecom company in Canada. He
is a Trillium author and assessor (Trillium is Bell Canada's own
Software Process Assessment method for the Telecommunications
industry). He is also the SPICE Technical Center Manager for
Canada, Central and South America, as well as one of the first
SPICE assessors.
Alec Dorling is the international SPICE Project Manager. He is
currently resident at IVF's Centre for Software Engineering in
Sweden. Previously he was the International and Strategic Project
Manager at the European Software Institute (ESI) in Spain.
Alec is a Chartered Engineer with 25 years experience in the
software industry gained both in real-time and commercial systems
environments. He is an internationally-recognized expert in the
field of Software Quality Management and Process Improvement.
Alec has been involved with most of the UK Government's initiatives
in software engineering and software quality over the years,
including the STARTS program, the Software Tools Demonstration
Centre, the Software Engineering Solutions program, the Quality
Management Library, and TickIT. He has also been consultant to the
Software Quality Unit of the UK Department of Trade and Industry
providing advise on priorities for government action on Software
Quality, Standards, and Certification . He carried out the initial
studies for the UK Ministry of Defence which were a precursor to
the launch of the SPICE Project.
