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