Definition and modeling of process using object orientation
Article No.: 2, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
Software development processes can be represented as objects because they and the elements that compose them have attributes and operations, can be linked by relationships and have behavior and states. Therefore, this paper proposes a way to represent processes and their elements as objects. This proposal can be used to represent process models benefiting from the object orientation properties and to define tools to automate processes.
