A literature review is conducted in diverse knowledge areas in order to identify existing process models for selecting, adapting, and developing new methods for given research interests - which is herein referred to as method engineering. The core aspects of the analyzed models are consolidated in a general, holistic model that substantiates decision-making throughout the method engineering process. Application possibilities and limitations of the model are discussed.en658670conference paper
