Abstract
Currently, an active research area is the design of formalisms for representing software process models and the underlying mechanisms for supporting their enaction. In the ALF project under the ESPRIT research programme, a formalism for modelling computer-assisted software processes, called the MASP concept, is being specified and a software engineering environment is being developed in order to support the enaction of software processes described with this formalism. This paper presents this representation formalism and outlines the architecture of this environment.
