....A Overview of the Systems In this Section, PCSDEs are described in fuller detail, complementing the analysis presented in the previous Sections. Further reviews of these and other systems can be found e.g. in Ambriola et al. s excellent survey [4] and in [5,7,6] A. 1 Adele Tempo Adele Tempo [67,68] was developed at IMAG in Grenoble. Adele is a versioned database in which process components are stored. Process steps are modeled as objects that define operations, attributes, and recursively, other process steps. User activities are modeled as methods associated with processes and ....

The transactional approach is based on advanced transaction models that allow more concurrency between activities [7] The transactional point of view considers each person s activity as a transaction that has to be completed to reach the sub goal. The process point of view [14, 2, 1] considers each person s activity as a task which has to be completed in a predefined order and with some specific conditions. Most of the time, approaches that cover these two points of view are biased towards one of them. However, these two points of view are essential in cooperative ....

....made it easier to compare them with each other. 2. To study the role concept used in TEMPO and to try to apply a role concept in the SOCCA formalism. But before I wanted to propose a role concept for SOCCA, I have studied the role concepts used in some other software process modelling approaches [5, 6, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17]. This resulted into a proposition of a role concept for the SOCCA formalism. This role concept differs from other role concepts, because it s the only one which is able to restrict the extent of a role.

....Role cooperation occurs when agents are working in the same team. A role can prescribe constraints to another one, e.g. in the role designer a rule can be defined to trigger an action (modify design) if the attribute approved=false of a document is set by the role reviewer. 4. 5 ADELE TEMPO In [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16] ADELE TEMPO is depicted. The concepts in the context of roles in ADELE TEMPO are: User: A user is a human person who can work in a work environment (WE) he can use tools to perform his activities. Methods: The methods are the activities in the process. When a certain event is true the ....

....kinds of relations among activities, and users and tools as special kinds of resources (as suggested in [22] In fact, all of these features can be found in some process languages, and many languages attempt to provide at least minimal support for most of these capabilities. For example, Adele [6], AP5 [8] APPL A [34] EPOS [10] and Merlin [22] provide at least some support for most or all of the capabilities. This supports the assertion that all of these aspects must be addressed to obtain a complete production process description. No existing system supports all of the required ....

This approach has been adopted in Marvel, Merlin, SLANG, and GRAPPLE [20] Other languages support the definition of artifacts at any level of granularity. For example, APPL A, Adele [6], AP5 [8] and Pleiades [36] are based on general purpose programming languages, and they provide rich type models that support the fine grained definition and manipulation of artifacts. Treatment of connections among higher and lower levels of activity descriptions has been variable. Several ....

....and more generally with the Long Transaction Model [8] There, software processes are encapsulated in transactions with an optimistic concurrency control protocol, but transactions cannot release partial results and thus cannot support cooperative executions. It can also be compared with Ad ele [2] and EPOS [7] but in the first, cooperation does not rely on general properties and the second rather enters in the schema of figure 2 (b) As introduced in section 4.2, a short term perspective of our work is to integrate the SplitTransaction model [17] in our model in order to allow an ....

Further, production process data (as well as meta process data) of a software project is managed by providing configuration management facilities and a transactions infrastructure, see e.g. ADELE [Belkhatir94] or P Root COO [Canals95] At the organizational level we adopt a concept common within the CSCW area, namely corporate or organizational memory [Yates94] The goal is to make persistent and reusable what an organization learns from its projects.

Let us briefly review some related product centered approaches to process control: In Adele (Belkhatir, Estublier, and Melo, 1994), processes are described by means of events and associated actions. Events constitute a base mechanism which can be used e.g. to implement the process control approach described in this paper.

In the past few years, several process modeling formalisms and process support systems have been developed (for example, Merlin [10] Adele [4], EPOS [5] SPADE [1] Oikos [15] Arcadia [11] HFSP [12] Process Weaver [6] and Marvel [2] In spite of the expressive power and elegance of many of these formalisms and systems, they have not, by and large, made their way into real use by corporations. It may be argued that most of these ....

....proposal. We now take many properties of coding languages as fundamental to representing software processes, including formal syntax, well defined semantics, executability, analyzability, object management, and consistency management. These issues have been the focus of much previous work (e.g. [29, 21, 9, 22, 5, 10, 31]) and they should continue to be addressed by second generation process languages. Our focus here, however, is on the issues outlined below. 2.1 Semantic Richness Software processes are multi faceted and technically challenging applications. To support this domain, a process programming ....

....many kinds of interrelated semantics. This pressure for semantic richness is reflected in first generation process languages. Many of these are based on extensions of conventional programming languages or paradigms, including functional languages ( 9, 24] rule based or reactive languages ([22, 21, 10, 5]) imperative languages ( 31] and Petri nets ( 4, 13] Conversely, where process languages have neglected certain areas of semantics (e.g. reflexivity, resource modeling) process programs have suffered. Process language semantics must be both rich and rigorous. They must cover an adequate ....

Other languages have also focused on process steps or tasks, including HFSP [14] EPOS, ProcessWeaver, Teamware [22] JIL, and APEL [9] Still other languages, such as ALF, Merlin, and Adele Tempo [3], focus on notions related to work contexts (which may be correlated with steps) Oikos [18] uses several high level abstractions.

Finally, CLF rules are pro active, as opposed to re active ECA rules used in Adele [4]. With pro active rules, subscription to triggering events may be done not only when the rule is activated, as with re active rules, but also dynamically while the rule is executing: progression in the rule execution may generate new subscriptions. As in most systems, CLF rule based processes can ....
