Murat Pasa Uysa · International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications · 2018
Essence Framework (EF) aims at addressing the core problems of software engineering (SE) and its practices.As a relatively new framework, one important issue for EF has been mapping software practices to its conceptual domain.Although there are several works describing systematic procedures, a review of literature cannot suggest a study using a formal method.The study is conducted according to the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR) Method.The research contribution is classified as an "application of a new solution (the formal method) to a new problem (mapping software practices to EF).The formal method employs an algorithm based on Concept Algebra and it is applied in a Scrum case study.The results are promising and they differ from the ones exist in the current EF related literature.
