Abstract

Much of our recent work has been predicated on the hypothesis that extensive use of typing will be an important aspect of creating and using process models. In particular, we have been actively investigating type models specifically tailored for use in software environment and process model definition. We recently used class projects in two different software engineering courses as preliminary experiments on the efficacy of typing in creating process models. In this paper we sketch our type model work, describe the experiments and offer a brief assessment of the results.
