An Integrated Approach for Model Driven Process Modeling and Enactment

The adoption of MDA in software development is increasing and is widely recognized as an important approach for building software systems. However, there´s a lack of standard terminology and notation addressing design aspects of an MDA process. The available MDA tools and environments are particularly focused in defining and executing model transformations, while a development process involves other important definitions which should be carried out during the process enactment. This paper presents an integrated approach for MDA process modeling and enactment based on specializations of some SPEM 2 concepts. To support and evaluate our approach a tool was developed and applied in two case studies.
