ABSTRACT
Process modeling is an important and delicate step, and it is among reasons that cause failure in the implementation or the improvement of any type of system. Indeed, process modeling is based on the inter-relationship between the processes that make up the system. There are various standards of process modeling; each one presents several aspects and concepts in relation with the process. While taking into account the specific characteristics of each case of modeling, this diversity makes the choice of the model very complicated. In this paper, we use the concepts of the MDE approach to create our process meta model extended for cycles. We generate this meta model out of several transformations of the Process Structure View meta model extended for lifecycles and the concept view meta model, using the Seven Views approach. The meta model proposed will facilitate the task to the process managers in terms of collecting requirements; proposals and solutions of improvement, through a repository containing all the information collected at the theoretical modeling, and updated during each cycle. The objective of this paper is to propose a generic process meta model, extended for cycles, that considers the requirements dimension, using Seven Views approach. This meta model will be valid for all type of information systems and for all type of cycles (lifecycles and improvement cycles).
