Abstract. This work presents a combination of the Model-View-Controller pattern with the Evolutionary
Acquisition Interdisciplinary Research Project Management for web services development. It intends to promote an increase in productivity and to facilitate interdisciplinary web services evolution.

Keywords: Evolutionary acquisition, IRPM, MVC, project management, software engineering, web services. 1. Introduction
Web services for scientific research are becoming more interdisciplinary. Naturally, a rising question would be how to approach or develop interdisciplinary research web services? This paper offers an answer, which is to combine a MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern [1]-[2] approach with Evolutionary
Acquisition IRPM (Interdisciplinary Research Project Management) [3].
The MVC pattern has been widely adopted to develop web services. Some examples would be: a service platform of integrated community based on the web [4]; a comparative analysis on modelling and implementing with MVC [5]; and a MVCD model for University project management [6]. Actually, the latter example may be integrated to the method proposed herein, because both are project management based.
The IRPM [7] is a methodology for developing interdisciplinary research based on project management that intends to maximize results from a University point of view. Its evolution to system’s development integrates Evolutionary Acquisition [8], and it is
