Achieving process modeling and execution through the combination of aspect and model-driven engineering approaches
One major advantage of executable software process models is that once defined, they can be simulated, checked and validated in short incremental and iterative cycles. This also makes them a powerful asset for important process improvement decisions such as resource allocation, deadlock identification and process management. In this paper, we propose a framework that combines Aspect and Model-driven Engineering approaches in order to ensure process modeling, simulation and execution. This framework is based on UML4SPM, a UML2.0-based language for Software Process Modeling and Kermeta, an executable metaprogramming language. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
