Abstract

Powerful formalisms are emerging that are dedicated to process modeling and enaction. But as they merge several paradigms, they are quite difficult to use. For that reason, the engineering of a process model, even more than of any other complex system, ought to be supported by a systematic and well structured method. This method must be defined according to a dedicated life-cycle the phases are abstract definition, specialization, instanciation and enaction. Because of the information diversity of the process modeling application domain, the method must rely on a multi-views approach.
