“…On the other hand, there are very fine-grained models. For example specifying that after a source code file is edited, it should be recompiled [Kai88]. Recently, hybrid formalisms that use different notations for large-grain and small-grain aspects of process such as PROCESS WEAVER [Fer91], have been developed.…”

“…The reader will find in [Fin94] a detailed presentation of ten projects in the field as well as the results of a common assessment exercise performed by the leaders of these projects. Most process centred software environments [Jac92], [Bel94], [Ban93], [Kai88] are in fact used to describe the activity of tools and to allow automatic invocation of tools [Tom94]. Existing environments guide software engineers in the selection of the right suite of tools but they do not guide the engineering activities themselves.…”

Abstract. The paper proposes a faceted framework to understand and classify issues in system development process engineering. The framework identifies four different but complementary view-points. Each view allows us to capture a particular aspect of process engineering. Inter-relationships between these aspects allow us to show the influence that one aspect has on another. In order to study, understand and classify a particular aspect of process engineering in its diversity we associate a set of facets with each aspect. The paper uses the framework to raise questions, problems and research issues in the field.

“…However, very few modelling approaches rely on "formal foundations"; most define how to operate more or less informally. This new generation of process models remains activity-oriented even though the initial activity decomposition paradigm has been extended in various ways: Petri nets in EPOS [29] and SPADE [4], rule based in MERLIN [18], ALF [6], Marvel [31], EPOS, and triggers in ADELE [5] and MVP-L [20]. It is interesting to notice that formality relates to the underlying programming languages: Smalltalk for E3, various Prolog dialects for EPOS, Oikos [1] and PEACE [20], PS-Algol for PWI [29].…”

Enterprise Knowledge Development (EKD) is a method for reasoning on change in organisations. It tackles different aspects of organisations : who does what, how and why. Applying EKD is an iterative, non-linear and guided process. Guidance is based on a decision making pattern that promotes a situation and decision-oriented view. The claim is that EKD engineers are repeatedly faced with situations that need them to make decisions. Thanks to the use of the decision making pattern together with domain specific, EKD specific or generic knowledge, the EKD process systematically provides guidance. Generic guidance is the default option that includes the co-operative aspects of decision making.

“…We discuss in another paper [19] the specification of alternatives, iteration and synchronization through the conditions and effects of rules; the process is not in any sense limited to a deterministic sequence of steps. Possible chains are compiled into a network when the kernel is tailored [18]. The process engine chains among rules with different or multiple parameters by "inverting" local bindings [ 16].…”

Process Evolution for the MARVEL Environment

We present a schema and process evolution tool, called the Evolver, for the MARVEL process-centered environment. The Evolver analyzes the differences between the new and installed process models of an existing environment, detecting each case where the notion of consistency defined by the process model has been strengthened or weakened. The Evolver then automatically updates the environment's objectbase to guarantee that the objects are consistent according to the new specifications. The Evolver can be applied while the installed process is in progre,,s, temporarily halting normal operation while it updates the objectbase, after which development continues using the new process. We have had several months of experience using the Evolver to make repeated changes in the process that supports our own further development of MARVEL, and include in this paper one small but practical example of a recent change made to a real MARVEL process.
