FROM PROCESS TO SOFTWARE SYSTEMS’ SERVICES - Using a Layered Model to Connect Technical and Process-related Views

Christian Prpitsch

2008

Abstract

A layered model is a solution to the problem of two disjunct points of view on the same problem. One group has a technical background but does not know much processes. The other group’s members have a process perspective. This contribution introduces a meta–model consisting of three layers. The outer ones represent the disjunct points of view. The inner one contains elements of both other layers and combines them. It also contains a system–independent scripting language to automatically configure software systems.
