Abstract

A frequently emerging situation in process improvement is adding new concerns into existing processes. Implementing these concerns calls for changes over a series of tasks, roles, work products and tools, which usually crosscut different modules of existing process models. Lacking systematic modeling of these crosscutting concerns may raise difficulties in understanding, managing, and reusing their implementations. Aiming at such problems, in this paper we propose leveraging Process Aspect to handle these crosscutting concerns. Modeling and weaving process aspects into SPEM2.0-based processes are presented. Finally, an example is provided as a case study.
