The Goal of the SEM Development Method
The SEM® system development method is used
as a process model for
executing projects as part of
the program and system development work of Siemens AG
Österreich. An initial version of SEM was drafted back
in 1983 and was made mandatory in this Group.
In 1993, SEM served as a basis for certifying the PSE
Group in accordance with ÖNORM EN ISO 9001.
Why the need for a new SEM?
The SEM process model (SEM-VM) replaces SEM V3.0 as the
PSE development method. The main reasons for the revision
were:
- To reduce the gap between the development method
and the projects being executed.
- To incorporate new trends and methods of software
engineering.
- To provide new tools.
Many ideas for revising the model were obtained from
the seminars devoted to the SEM development method and
the suggestions of PSE staff.
