Integrating Process

In a software engineering environment, it is essential to describe the structures and behavior of different processes. Once the processes have been described, it would also be desirable to use the description for consistently controlling the execution of the processes. In this paper we describe an extension of the conventional object-oriented paradigm which provides an integrated process description/execution environment that allows a user to describe a process with multiple methodologies and to review a process from multiple views. Once a process has been described in detail, the environment can monitor the behavior of application processes, derive the inter-dependencies among different activities in a process, and check the consistency among the activities.
