The document presents a methodology for developing web-based CAD/CAM software systems. It begins with the author's background and introduces the motivation and challenges of web-based CAD/CAM development. It then discusses the lack of a defined approach in current literature and sets the aim to develop such a methodology. The methodology features a software process model, design optimization early on, and a novel approach to planning using time reserves. It applies the methodology to case studies and validates it by evaluating the developed software. The major contributions are said to be a systematic approach, architecture optimization early in projects, and a novel planning approach based on task prioritization.
Model-Based Software Engineering: A Multiple-Case Study on Challenges and Dev...Rodi Jolak
A recurring theme in discussions about the adoption of Model-Based Engineering (MBE) is its effectiveness. This is because there is a lack of empirical assessment of the processes and (tool-)use of MBE in practice. We conducted a multiple-case study by observing 2 two-month MBE projects from which software for a Mars rover were developed. We focused on assessing the distribution of the total software development effort over different development activities. Moreover, we observed and collected challenges reported by the developers during the execution of projects. We found that the majority of the effort is spent on the collaboration and communication activities. Furthermore, our inquiry into challenges showed that tool-related challenges are the most encountered.

In the evolution and adaptation of software, e.g., to changing user requirements, software quality is often neglected due to cost and time constraints, and “technical debt” is incurred. As a consequence, maintainability suffers and hence maintenance costs rise and the development takes longer. The challenge for project managers is to find a balance when using the given budget and schedule, either by reducing technical debt or by adding technical features. The aim of this balancing act is to keep time to market for current product releases short and at the same time keep future maintenance costs at an acceptable level. Methodological support is lacking. With our approach, we close that gap, supporting companies to maintain or even increase competitiveness.

A Methodology for Developing Web-based CAD/CAM systemsEditor IJCATR
The absence of a common approach for design and development of Web-based CAD/CAM systems is associated with
increased risks and challenges. To overcome them and facilitate successful implementation of this kind of software within the
commercial environment, a systematic approach is required that will ensure robustness, effectiveness, usability and ease of
maintenance of these applications.
This research establishes a methodology for creating Web-based CAD/CAM software systems, which will help develop complex Webbased
CAD/CAM systems to industrial quality standards in a time and cost effective manner. The crucial parts of the methodology are
a novel project development model facilitating architecture optimisation early in the project and a novel approach for planning based
on time reserve management and task prioritisation

2. Introduction
• Motivation:
– Web-based approach can provide significant advantages for CAD/
CAM software development over similar desktop applications.
• Challenge:
– Web-based CAD/CAM software development is associated with a
range of challenges and risks, possibly able to eclipse the benefits
from Web-based approach.
• Goal:
– Find an efficient way of exploiting state-of-the-art Web technologies
in the area of CAD/CAM.
3. Research gap
• No defined generic approach for the development of Web-based CAD/
CAM systems.
• Design and development of browser-based CAD/CAM systems has
been poorly discussed within the literature.

Web-based approach provides significant advantages for the area of
CAD/CAM software compared to similar desktop applications.
4. Aim
• To develop a methodology for creating Web-based CAD/CAM software
systems
– A specific collection of principles and practices, with a defined set
and timing of software development activities, feedback and control
methods, giving advice on how to manage the quality of
deliverables.
5. Objectives
1. Provide the rationale and prerequisites for the new software
development methodology;
2. Establish a methodology for Web-based CAD/CAM system
development;
3. Apply the methodology on a set of CAD/CAM software development
case studies;
