Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of Software Process Machine (SP_Machine), that is, a software tool whose primary function is to assist software project members in the execution of software processes. An SP_Machine is based on an underlying software process (meta)model. Of consequence, different SP_Machines can be defined. The one presented here is based on a state-oriented metamodel for software process. We believe that SP_Machines we will become a crucial component of the future SDEs (Software Development Environments) and, moreover, the effectiveness of these will largely depend on the power of the SP_Machines that we will be able to realize in the near future.
