Applying Behavior Engineering to Process Modeling
David Tuffley, Terence Patrick Rout · Griffith Research Online · 2009
The natural language used by people in everyday life to express themselves is often prone to ambiguity. Examples abound of misunderstandings occurring due to a statement having two or more possible interpretations. In the software engineering domain, clarity of expression when specifying the requirements of software systems is one situation where absence of ambiguity is important. Dromey's (2006) Behavior Engineering is a formal method that reduces or eliminates ambiguity in software requirements. This paper seeks an answer to the question: can Dromey's (2006) Behavior Engineering reduce or eliminate ambiguity when applied to the development of a Process Reference Model?
