Abstract

Software Processes involve many different aspects.Thereby, to represent them in a system can result adifficult task. One way of making this work easier is toestablish the different aspects in a conceptualarchitecture with varying abstraction levels(metamodels, models, metadata, data), which can bespecified, designed and constructed independently. Theproblem that then arises is how to deal suitably with thedifferent abstraction levels. We propose MOF and XMIstandards as a solution.This paper describes the advantages of using MOFand XMI to represent software processes. A concreteexample is presented using a software processmetamodel, which illustrates the basic components of aprocess software.
