Abstract
The paper deals with support for changes in software process model fragments when instance processes are enacted. A proposal is outlined of mechanisms embedded in a prototype evolving environment, Mendel. It relies on an object oriented and reflective approach.
It is then possible to partly define meta-models for process “on the fly” changes, described with the same formalism. So MENDEL could be used to experiment concrete processes evolution.
