Engineering an 'open' client/server-platform for a distributed Austrian Alpine road-pricing system in 240 days - case study and experience report

Biffl, S. / Grechenig, T. / Oberpfalzer, S.

This paper describes engineering a system for a distributed Austrian Alpine road-pricing environment as well as the structure and organization of the software development. The client/server-based road-pricing system, handling on the average 1.2 million vehicle transitions per month, had be to operational within mere eight months after the start of the project. Current practical and industrial problems of client/server system strategies are discussed. The authors main theses derived from the presented case study are: in current medium to large software engineering tasks there is a need for a) technical specialists for industrially identified project stress points (database, network, front-end) with experience in large projects, b) a project and process plan for a (very) short development time frame before production, and c) a dynamic production-oriented process model rather than a traditional linear process model.
