“…It offers an object oriented approach using the UML notation. As an OMG proposal, SPEM is integrated in the pyramidal architecture of MDA organization as a MOF metamodel and as a UML profile (Breton and Bézivin, 2001). SPEM takes up a great deal of UML diagrams (packages, use cases, classes, activities, sequences, statechart), excludes some elements (node, component, etc.)…”

Modeling software process is a good way to improve development and thus quality of resulting applications. The OMG proposes the SPEM metamodel to describe software processes. Its concepts are described through class diagrams. Unfortunately, it lacks a formal description of its semantics that makes it hard to use. So, we propose a specialization of SPEM that clarifies it and we use OCL to formally express constraints on it.

“…The process meta-models integration and unification problem is reviewed in [26]. This paper named "ProcessCentered Model Engineering" was written in 2001, however, since this time the problem became even more serious because of the different MOF implementations.…”

-This paper propose the approach for integrating SPEM modeling tools with the Query/View/Transformation (QVT) tools using Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). The aim of tool integration is to support the adoption of Model Driven Architecture within the organizations, which currently use "traditional" software development approaches. The software development process lifecycle of organization is supposed to be expressed with the help of OMG SPEM language. The approach presented in the paper is based on the model-level integration using EMF based interfaces, which will help to link the MOF based Ecore models with the QVT transformation tools. The outcomes of the work are: (i) the design of EMF based tool integration, (ii) solution prototype for Eclipse environment (iii) QVT Relations transformation rules. Model transformations are performed using mediniQVT tool, which is able to operate with the models expressed as Ecore metamodels and provides debugging features and transformation rules tracing. The QVT Relations transformations are applied to the source model, which corresponds to the "traditional" software development lifecycle. The outcome of such unidirectional transformation is the new software development process, which corresponds to the modeldriven software development process. The generated target model is SPEM compliant, and can be imported into the external tool supporting SPEM models in Ecore.

“…The advantage of the embedment of the SPEM within the UML is that UML related concepts are usable for the specification of a process or method defined with SPEM. The structure of processes within SPEM is mainly characterised by three different concepts [38,39]. These are the activity, the role and the work product.…”

Domain-specific reasoning for method engineering based on Toulmin's argumentation theory

Methods describe and embody a broad range of relevant knowledge of enterprises. Usually they have to account for requirements stated by a multitude of various stakeholders. These are typically those that are in charge of business related actions and those that are in charge to support such actions with an IT-Infrastructure. The statement of requirements as well as the validation of methods and in particular process models with respect to those requirements relies drastically on natural language. Natural language seems to be a substantial component to explain and to give an understanding about process models or certain aspects of it. This fact requires closing the gap between the natural language and the respective modelling language. This paper proposes argumentative method engineering for purposefully depicting design decisions and convictions for method engineering through arguments. The approach is derived from Toulmin's Argumentation Model and explicates the process of negotiating with various stakeholders. So, a model, depicting a method, specified by means of argumentative method engineering, not just includes the claims about a certain domain, it further justifies these claims by referring to already established knowledge. While it can't be ensured that certain requirements are considered in future project, if the reasons for design decisions of method engineering are transcribed in natural language text, but the semiformalising of arguments regarding these methods allows such an assurance. So the argumentative approach enables the sophisticated management and reuse of knowledge during the development and extension of methods. The approach is evaluated using a case study, in which a software development method was outsourced to contractors.
