....software project, to provide it with the best possible automated support. PSEEs support the engineering process used to conceive, design, develop, and maintain a software product through an explicit process model. Such a model is described by means of a suitable Process Modeling Language (PML) [34]. The model specifies how people should interact and work, and also how and when the automated tools used in the process should be used and or automatically activated. A process engine can then enact (i.e. execute) the process model, which is part of the PSEE. The process engine guides and ....

....high quality results [21, 29] In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in methods and technologies to model, improve, and support human centered systems. Typical examples are WorkFlow Management Systems (WFMSs) 18] and Process centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) [16]. WFMSs have been developed to support information systems and, more generally, cooperative activities carried out in business processes. PSEEs aim at supporting the engineering process used to conceive, design, develop, and maintain a software product. These process technologies share many ....

....produces high quality products in a cost effective way. These were the motivations behind the development of Process Support Systems (PSSs) PSSs aim at supporting organizations in improving and automating their business processes. Usually, a PSS provides a Process Description Language (PDL) [1], 2] 3] used to develop a model of the business process. This model may be used to consolidate the process knowledge, to support process assessment and improvement, and to communicate the business rules within the organization. Typical examples of PSSs are WorkFlow Management Systems (WFMSs) ....

Typical examples of PSSs are WorkFlow Management Systems (WFMSs) 2] 3] and Process centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) [1], 4] 5] They offer tools to create process models, analyze them, and improve them according to the results of the analysis. Process modeling and improvement are not the only activities that can be supported by PSSs. Most modern business organizations operate by taking advantage of ....

....efficiency demanded by these applications can be met through appropriate design choices. 1 Introduction During the last decade, software development has quickly become one of the most complex engineering activities carried out by humans. Process centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) [1, 2, 3] aim at supporting such activities by providing a language to formalize the process that have to be carried out (usually called PDL , an acronym for Process Description Language ) and an environment capable of interpreting a process model to guide people during the process and to automate the ....

....of the components of these environments is described through an explicitly defined process model (PM) The processes modeled consist of steps dependent in various ways among each other. Examples of CPEs are workflow management systems [16] and process centered software development environments [10]. The construction of CPEs gives rise to challenging requirements due to their dynamic and highly complex nature. In particular: a CPE must be able to control and execute long lasting processes, the architecture of a CPE should be flexible, in order to seamlessly integrate different components ....

....engine. Keywords: active database systems, software processes, workflows, agent control 1 Introduction and Motivation Research in cooperative process oriented environments is currently a very active topic. Example types of CPEs are process centered software development environments (PCDEs) [9] and workflow management systems (WFMSs) 13, 23] Regardless of whether software processes can actually be treated as a special case of workflows, as for example stated in [19] PCDEs and WFMSs have in common the notion of process. Both support the computer based modeling and execution of ....

....experience, dissemination, and reuse within the software development organization. As for technology, in recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of a new generation of software engineering environments based on the explicit definition of the software process ( 8] [13]) This explicit definition (called process model) can be used by the environment to guide software developers, to automate activities where no human intervention is required, to provide information and data on the performance and state of the process. For this reason, these environments are often ....

....at least, more clearly emphasized. ffl Each agent s Observed Process can be more easily checked against the formal definition, thus facilitating the identification of deviations and misunderstandings. ffl By introducing environments based on the formal definition of the Official Process ( 8] [13]) it is possible to reduce and better control the discrepancies between the Official Process and the Actual Process. In conclusion, the work discussed in this paper shares several objectives of the Kellner and Hansen s case study. Its main goal, however, is to enhance the level of process ....
