Abstract:
Current software development environments generally take one of two approaches. The integrated toolset approach provides an extensible set of utilities to the developer, and a common inter-tool communication and integration facility. However, it provides no guidance as to how the tools should be used. The process-based approach integrates a toolset with a process control engine so as to provide an environment that enacts a particular development process. Unfortunately, it is not always feasible to go the process-based route; in the case where the existing tools are integrated with one another, the process engine integration mechanism may be in conflict with that of the integrated toolset. Process servers are an alternative means of integrating a process control engine with a toolset, which avoids this conflict by adapting the process control engine to use the toolset's existing integration mechanism. Many process-based environments are rule-based environments: Their process specification language is a rule language. Rules deal well with local constraints, but often interact counterintuitively and make it difficult to express the global nature of a process. Higher-level process languages are needed to describe global constraints effectively, but without losing the advantages of rules.
