Active Models:A Possible Approach to the Integration of Objective and Subjective Process Models

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 3840))

Abstract

This paper suggests that the workshop problem of managing the integration of processes based on both explicit and tacit knowledge needs to be addressed by questioning the classical software engineering paradigm. It illustrates a possible approach through a short description of the recently prototyped ArchWare system.
