Process Driven Architecture: A Model Driven Development Approach for Process Support Software

2007

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new model based development method specialized on the efficient production of process support software, called the Process Driven Architecture (PDA). It is based on our experiences in the domain of clinical process support and a comprehensive review of related model driven software approaches, such as the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) or the Software Factories approach. The exemplary implementation of a clinical process illustrates the feasibility of our PDA approach.
