Abstract

In the earlier chapters of this book, we have introduced a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in situational method engineering. However, over the last few years, there have been published a number of new ideas that are highly relevant to SME. In particular, we highlight in this chapter just three of these: how SME support service-oriented architectures (SOA), the application of SME to metamodels known as situational metamodel engineering (SMME) and recent discussions regarding the overall metamodelling architecture and how modelling languages might be a better focus than metamodels.
