Abstract:
|
Process Technologies (e.g., Workflow and Software
Process) support co-operative work, where humans
and Information Systems participate within an
organisation. In the last two decades Workflow
Management Systems have been demonstrated to be
useful in the automation of Business Processes. We
think Software Process is part of a more complex
Business Process, and it is composed by several
sub-processes, but with different granularity of
detail. In recent years, environments have been
created to automate Software Processes, but only
few products are available today in the market,
and they have shortcomings that can be addressed
by Workflow Technology. Such technology can
improve Software Process Technology leading to a
Process Technology able to manage and automate
other kind of Processes. The aim of this article
is to reflect our ideas about the possibility of
applying Workflow Technology to Software Process
and vice versa. |
