“…Based on the Process Algebra, a Process Behavior Space Expression (PBSE) is proposed to detect and manage the process deviation. First of all, to describe the enacting software process, we use the Evolution Process Meta-Model (EPMM) [3], which is proposed by one of the authors to model the software process efficiently. The EPMM is divided into four levels: global, process, activity and task.…”

Abstract-Since software processes are permanently dynamic evolving during software process enactment, the problems on software process deviation are increasingly received more attention. In process-centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEE), the enacted software process model is always inconsistence with the observed process obtained by PSEE. In order to address this problem, this paper presents a framework which structures the field of process deviation analysis and identities, a Process Behavior Space Expression based on process algebra and judgment rules to decide whether handle the deviation or not. This approach can effectively find and handle the prevalent deviation problems in the software process implementation, through dealing with the deviation so as to improve the software process, and ultimately promote the quality of software products.

“…The traditional software process cannot wellsupported a software evolution framework. Therefore, Li [1] defined a formal evolution process meta-model(EPMM) which is based on the extended Petri Net mixed with objectoriented technology and Hoare Logic to construct software evolution process models with four-level architecture. But EPMM as a software evolution process model is only a static and abstract description of a software evolution process.…”

“…But EPMM as a software evolution process model is only a static and abstract description of a software evolution process. Therefore, Li [1] designed a more detailed description of a software evolution process-software evolution process description language (EPDL) which expend the description power of EPMM. EPDL is an object-oriented computer language.…”

“…Because software processes are complex entities, researchers have created a number of language that make it possible to represent in a precise and comprehensive way a number of software process features and facets [1]. These languages must be tolerant and allow for incomplete, informal, and partial specification [4].…”

Abstract-In recent years, algebraic semantics and its verification are increasingly important in software engineering. In this paper, firstly, the algebraic semantics of software evolution process description language (AS-EPDL) at activity level is explored. The algebraic semantics of activity level in EPDL provide an accurate framework for defining the semantics. In addition, the hierarchy-consistency and sufficient-completeness properties of the AS-EPDL at activity level are verified.

Many software process modeling languages are available today, but the majority do not meet the community's expectations. They are complex, difficult for enactment, and so forth. After studying the state of the art, we asked this research question: Is it possible to have an easy to read and use Software Process Modeling Language (SPML), which is abstract enough but also expressive enough to suit different domains of process modeling and allowing the orchestration and execution of the process models it expressed? Our contribution consists in answering this question by defining Process Orchestration, Execution and Modeling Language (POEML), an SPML that supports the static process modeling and also the dynamic aspects of orchestration and execution. This language is governed by a metamodel, according to MDE principles, and provides graphic notation and a support tool. Its demonstration involves a benchmark that assesses the applicability of the language. We evaluate our language through a set of SPMLs quality criteria. Our contribution is discussed in terms of adopted choices and is compared with different related works. POEML contributes to software processes practice by linking modelization to execution while compensating some gaps still posed in SPMLs, which is an important improvement in this field.
