Abstract

In the field of software process management, many studies have proposed a variety of process management technologies. However, most of the process management technologies have treated managerial analysis facilities for software process instances too lightly. It results in less attention from industry. To overcome the problem, we propose the process instance management facilities in the structural and behavioral aspects based on the meta process models. The meta process models consist of the two types of models: meta structural model and the meta behavioral model. Based on the meta process models, a process model is developed and two types of process instance models are generated using the process model: the structural instance model and the behavioral instance model. For the structural instance model, we adopt process slicing. On the other hands, we use several analysis techniques for the behavioral instance model. The proposed approach enables a project manager to analyze structural and behavioral properties of a process instance and allows a project manager make use of the formalism for the management facilities without knowledge for the formalism.
