Life cycle of e-SEM projects

e-SEM projects follow a life cycle approach modeled to a large extent on the prototyping model known from stdSEM.
Iterative-incremental development, cooperative definition of requirements, prototype-driven implementation, regular validation of intermediary results, and consistently applied configuration management are the core topics of the development life cycle.
