Abstract :
In consideration of the future of software engineering as an interdisciplinary activity, this paper explores the existing coverage of interdisciplinary software engineering areas in established or emerging software engineering frameworks. In particular we investigate the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and related Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), and the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Following the investigation of the interdisciplinary elements of these frameworks we explore potential areas of advancement and opportunities, that is, where and how future body of knowledge, process, and framework revisions might benefit from the interdisciplinary approach.
