“…As a conclusion, we define [40] a set of common concepts to be included in a common software process modelling formalism, and accordingly, an expressive software process modelling language based-on BPMN has to encompass these concepts (designed in the next Section). The set of concepts are summarized in Table 2 below, where the first and second columns describe the concept, while the third relate such concept to the source software process model/s.…”

“…The syntax is also divided into two types. The abstract syntax in SP2MN presents the rules and the grammar of the language, it is represented here, as the name refers, by a meta-model (a conceptual model of the concepts included in the language [40]). Whereas, the concrete syntax in SP2MN represents the graphical notation -which is based on BPMN notation.…”

Abstract-Software process modelling has recently become an area of interest within both academia and industry. It aims at defining and formalizing the software process in the form of formal rigorous models. A software process modelling formalism presents the language or notation in which the software process is defined and formalized. Several software process modelling formalisms have been introduced lately, however, they have failed to gain the attention of the industry. One major objective of formalizing the software process that has ever been an issue of research, is to enhance the understanding and communication among software process users. To achieve this aim, a modelling formalism has to offer a common language to be wellunderstood by all software process users. BPMN presents a graphical-based widely accepted standard formalism, mainly aimed at business process modelling. This paper illustrates a software process modelling formalism based upon BPMN specifications for representing the software process, named as, SP2MN. The paper also demonstrates the applicability and evaluation of the proposed formalism by; utilizing the standard ISPW-6 benchmark problem, in addition to comparing the expressiveness of SP2MN with similar software process modelling formalisms. The evaluations prove that SP2MN contributes in enhancing software process formalization. SP2MN, accordingly, can be used as a standard software process modelling formalism.
