Abstract

This paper presents a brief on evolution and subsequent developments in the field of Situation Method Engineering (SME) through exhaustive literature review. The efforts of the various method engineers are gathered, summarized and presented to show the overall growth of this vital discipline. This research paper starts with the assembly-based approaches and moves towards method generation. The paper further analyzes the proposals presented on the architecture of SME processes followed by the OPEN Process Framework (OPF). OPF depend on the four major components-Object-oriented Process, Environment and Notation (OPEN). We evaluate these proposals for various issues leading to method configuration. The survey concludes with the proposals on configurability of methods and current unresolved issues that need to be addressed in one single approach to configure a situation-specific coherent method
