In this article, the authors present three steps for the development and use of comprehensive software process models, which can be performed by the application of the following three steps: development, analysis, and integration.Abstract:
The objective of software process technology is to support the derivation and analysis of software process models, and their use in projects. Software process models should represent as much as possible of a project, and thereby support as many project members as possible. But a very rare few people ever understand a large project as a whole. The rst problem is that every process element is viewed di erently depending on the contexts of the project members. The second problem is that di erent roles exist within a software project. I believe that a useful software process model can only be derived by describing the process from di erent perspectives. Concentration on a subset of information (e.g., product ow) during modeling is helpful [1]. The part of a software process model which corresponds to a role (i.e., supports the role's tasks) is called a view. Views may overlap and have to be integrated to produce a comprehensive software process model. I believe that development and use of comprehensive software process models should be performed by the application of the following three steps:read more

TL;DR: A major outcome of the work presented here was to integrate a broad range of concepts and paradigms in a single and coherent framework, but on the basis of a minimal set of primitive concepts which make it very easy to extend.

Knowledge-based techniques to increase the flexibility of workflow management
TL;DR: This paper describes how knowledge-based techniques can be used to overcome problems of workflow management in engineering applications using explicit process and product models as a basis for a workflow interpreter, resulting in increased flexibility of project coordination and enactment.

Managing process inconsistency using viewpoints
TL;DR: An approach to process analysis that helps discover different perceptions of a software process and that supports the discovery of process inconsistencies and process improvements stimulated by these inconsistencies is presented.

OPSIS: a view mechanism for software processes which supports their evolution and reuse
TL;DR: The intended use of Opsis is: 1) process evolution-changes can be localised to certain views, which largely reduces the complexity of applying change; and 2) process reuse-libraries can contain reusable fragments of type view that can be combined using the composition operators.
