Abstract
A software development process is strictly related to the representation and the management of the involved objects. Software products, tools, and computational resources are typical objects. It is convenient to distinguish the definition of software process activities and the issues that pertain to object management. Standard services have been introduced in Oikos to provide process activities with a set of primitive functionalities for object management. These standard services present the Object Management System functionalities at an abstraction level that well matches the definition of the process activities.
