Software process modeling and evolution in EPOS
Letizia Jaccheri, Jens-Otto Larsen, Reidar Conradi · 2003
Software process models are meant to describe software engineering activities around evolving software products. Process models need modifications due to gained experience, changed policies or project-specific requirements, and a set of versions of the original models must be maintained. Thus, software process models are evolving products and should be under the control of a configuration management (CM) system. EPOS models software processes in an object-oriented data model. Both process models and running instances are stored in a versioned database. EPOS software process models may be evolved and reused by the same CM techniques as used for software systems.>
