Metaprocesses as Software Assets Reuse

Javier Darío Fernández-Ledesma

2016

Abstract

Software reuse in the early stages is a key issue in rapid development of applications. Recently, several methodologies have been proposed for the reuse of components, but mainly in code generation as artifacts. However, these methodologies partially consider the reuse of abstract models built for domain analysis and business modeling. This article introduces a metaprocess-oriented methodology based on the model reuse as software assets, and starting from the domain specification and analysis phases. The approach includes the definition of a conceptual level to adequately represent the domain and a reuse process to specify the metaprocess as software assets. The methodology has been applied successfully in the field of e-health; in particular a monitoring system for patients with cardiovascular risk has been modelled and analysed.
