Abstract

Over the years, there have been significant efforts in modelling and representing software processes and artifacts, especially in the software engineering environments community, eg, [6, 4, 5]. It has long been recognised that focusing on the artifacts alone does not deliver the full benefit for software practice since software development should follow an orderly process. On the other hand, considering processes without much regard to the artifacts is also limited, eg, in dealing with fine-grained technical processes. As such, a promising direction is to integrate the modelling and representation of software processes and artifacts. Encapsulation of data and behaviour is one of the key characteristics of the object-oriented approach. As such, it seems natural to use the object-oriented approach to model software artifacts and processes in an integrated manner. Due to the specific nature of software processes and artifacts and the limitations of the object-oriented approach, however, object-oriented modelling of software processes and artifacts still requires much investigation.
