Recent advancements in Model Driven Engineering (MDE) call for the corresponding software development processes. These processes need to be able to assist multimetamodel development by extending support for the usage of models and transformations. Business processes are sequenced on the basis of their sequential contingencies whereas we argue that software development processes are meant to be sequenced along their intrinsic factors. In this paper, we present a process metamodel from our framework, inspired from the component based paradigm, to automate the software development processes. This approach presents the concept of structured artifacts and exploits the activity sequencing based on events and constraints.

“…More recently, A. Koudri proposed Modal [18] a process model to interpret parts of a software development process as "process components" which, hence, allows to attach contracts to them. Figure 2: A full process with contracts from [30] 4 Discussion on the classification As for any classification, our four levels contract classification expresses a point of view and can be discussed.…”

The notion of contract aware components has been published roughly ten years ago and is now becoming mainstream in several fields where the usage of software components is seen as critical. The goal of this paper is to survey domains such as Embedded Systems or Service Oriented Architecture where the notion of contract aware components has been influential. For each of these domains we briefly describe what has been done with this idea and we discuss the remaining challenges

“…According to Ruiz-Rube et al [8], SPEM has been most used to model processes and methods, such as for the development of multi-agent systems, software product lines, agile software development, and embedded real-time systems. Thus, many studies [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] use SPEM as a basis for proposing new approaches that modify its meta-model. Such approaches extend SPEM for a diversity of goals, such as perform similarities and variability management in software process lines (SPrL) [4,[23][24][25].…”

With the continuous improvement of software processes, it is possible to increase quality, to address different application domains and accelerate the development of software products. However, existing process modelling notations like the SPEM meta-model typically do not have appropriate constructs for expressing process variability. Thus, SPEM-based approaches such as SMartySPEM and vSPEM provide mechanisms for representing variabilities to address characteristics of different projects. Here, the authors empirically compared SMartySPEM and for variability representation in software processes models, aiming to analyze correction, time, and efficiency. The performed experiment provides preliminary evidence based on 11 participants and sample size N = 44. Participants took longer to comprehend diagrams in SMartySPEM. However, the correctness of SMartySPEM diagrams had a superior result and higher efficiency based on the median values and hypothesis tests. With regard to variability mechanisms, the diagrams modelled with SMartySPEM had a slightly lower efficiency and it took longer for modifying them, thus the correctness of the SMartySPEM diagrams had a superior result. Therefore, an initial body of knowledge indicated a positive efficiency of SMartySPEM for variability representation in process models, as well as potential improvements as the reduction in SMartySPEM diagrams complexity, which may contribute to its evolution.
