Abstract

Most SDEs are either integrated toolsets or process-based environments. Process-based environments have obvious advantages in support for the development process, while integrated toolsets have advantages in usability and convenience. By integrating the two approaches, the benefits of both are obtained. Direct integration, however, is not always possible, because the process engine's integration mechanism may conflict with that of the toolset.The solution is to center the environment around a rule-based process server, separating out the process-based component to avoid such conflicts. A framework is provided for interfacing the server to the target toolset.
