APER-2: A developer-centered, object-oriented process language

Abstract

This paper presents a developer-centered, object-oriented process language called APER-2. The language offers following features 1) it is developer-centered meaning that process programs map to developers which presumably is more realistic than commonly seen activity-centered or product-centered modeling, 2) it is object-oriented which models all process components as classes. This is expected to offer object orientation benefits such as reusability and maintainability.
