    Abstract
&lt;/h3>
&lt;p>
    The IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a configurable process framework widely used for all types of software
    projects. This paper presents a configuration of RUP dedicated to projects aiming at evaluating, recommending,
    acquiring, installing, configuring, fielding and evolving Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) package solutions. This RUP
    configuration is based on the CMU/SEI Evolutionary Process for Integrating COTS-Based Systems (EPIC) methodology.
