EPF -- Process Aspects [message #70221] Tue, 29 November 2005 19:10 Go to next message

I was wondering how we intended to handle what I call, for lack of a
better term, "process aspects". A process aspect is a concept woven
throughout a process. For example, Extreme Programming (XP)'s value
of Simplicity would be an example of a process aspect. Or Agile
Data's Sweet Spot philosophy. These aspects can have a huge impact on
the overall process, potentially affecting every task.

This is a great idea. We had requests like these before, but did not have
the time to think about ways of modeling such more advanced relationships in
a simple way.

You probably know of the 'contribution', 'replace', and 'extends'
variability relationships that we currently support to define changes on
specific elements from plug-ins which can be valid in specific
configurations. One of Ricardo's demo videos on the eclipse server shows an
example of how to contribute a new work product responsibility (Service) to
a specific role (Architect) in a plug-in that extends BUP. Similarly, you
can contribute steps to a task, replace work products, contribute new roles
to a task, etc.

For "process aspects" such a variability relationships would be defined in a
way such as instead of having the currently fixed many variability elements
to one base element association, it would probably be a declarative pointcut
definition.

If you have detailed examples, ideas for how to specify pointcuts, or
perhaps suggestions for meta-model and UI extensions, please send it to us.

Best regards,
Peter Haumer.
