Process views are an emerging concept for coping with the increasing complexity of process models. We understand a process view as the result of specific transformations applied to a process model. In this paper we discuss concrete scenarios of process view transformations for providing assistance in business process management. We show how elementary patterns of view transformations can be combined to support the design, deployment, monitoring and analysis of business processes. The process views proposed in this paper are technology independent and can be applied to any process language which can be represented by a process graph, such as the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Event-driven Process Chains (EPC).

“…VIPR is a graphical transformation language developed to avoid the problems of scalability and detail in context encountered by some other visual languages [2,6,7,12]. It is an imperative language that uses the Tcl scripting language for statements and expressions, and visual constructs for its control, including procedures [4,5].…”

“…Additionally, it provides insertion, deletion and copying capabilities. The For situations where the user prefers to maintain the context in which the code occurs, VIPR's environment provides the ability to use a fish-eye view based on a spherical projection [6,7]. The distortion causes one section of the code to be enlarged while maintaining enough additional contextual information for the user to still identify where the procedure was called.…”

This paper presents an object-oriented architecture, called the Model-View-Shape (MVS) architecture, for constructing an Integrated Visual Programming Environment (IVPE), whose constituent tools deal with (fine-grained) language semantics, as well as a mass of graphics-drawing activities. This architecture enforces a layered and loosely-coupled structure, so that the user-interface part of components may be more independent, maintainable, and reusable than those proposed in the original model-view-controller architecture. An MVS class hierarchy, systematically constructed using C++, can be reused and extended with new semantics to rapidly develop new tools for an existing IVPE, or even an IVPE supporting more than one language. The present editors developed can be used to construct programs by specifying the associated flow information in explicit (visual) or implicit (textual) ways, while the (incremental) flow analysers can help analyse incomplete program fragments to locate and inform the user of possible errors or anomalies during programming.
