SPEM2 — Meta-Model: Missing relationships in Process Behavior

Meta-Model: Missing relationships in Process Behavior Currently the Process Behavior package in Section 10 only provides associations of elements defined in Process Structure to behavioral models. If specification users implement the compliance levels “Complete” or “Method Content” they would also like to provide relationships of the additional elements introduced only in these compliance levels (e.g. work product definition) to behavior models. Provide either an Extended Process Behavior package that provide these missing relationships or package merge these relationships in the already existing packages. Currently there are issues with the following classes: - Work Product Definition needs to be associated to State_ext - Role Definition needs to be associated to Transition_ext - Task Definition or better the general Work Definition which also the generalization of the currently linked Activity needs to be associated to Transition_ext - Default_TaskDefinitionParameter or better its generalization WorkDefinitionParamter which is also the generalization of the currently linked ProcessParameter needs to be associated with State_Ext.

• Added package merge relationship from Process Behavior to Method Content
• Modeled association from Work Definition to Transition_ext replacing the existing association from Activity. Renamed association and role names for associations coming from Work Definition. Deleted Activity redefinition from Process Behavior package.
• Added redefinitions for Work Product Definition and Role Definition and associated them to State_ext and Transition_ext respectively. Updated existing association and role names for consistency.
• Replaced the Process Parameter override and relationships to State_Ext with the more generic Work Definition Parameter. Updated association name.
