Hi,
Does anyone know the SPEM work progresses? I just noticed that now the
work now has two similar sumbmissions, One from IBM and one from SUN,
MS, Borland etc.

Is EPF committed to track this process and to support the eventual standard?
Thanks.

Also for you information, here is the link to the discussions:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epf-dev/msg00824.html
Here is the link to the second SPEM 2.0 submission:
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/2006-09-01
In our view it offers a number of advantages for being adopted as the EPF
meta-model of choice.
Thanks

It seems as a nice high level concept for method authors so one can
partition the methods in understandable pieces, so Im curious about the
counter-arguments.

Hi Anders,
Modular packaging of process assets that can be extended and reused is a key
need of the early SPEM adopter community and the process modeling community
in general.
The mechanism introduced by the IBM submission uses the concept of Plugins,
Configuration, Variability and Variability Types to address this need. In
our opinion this is an overly-complicated solution to meet this requirement.
In our submission, we have proposed an alternative way to meet this need by
well known (and forward compatible from SPEM1.x) concepts of packages,
import dependencies and process components. Having established a namespace
view, the process assets of a package can be extended for use in one or more
workflows. Process Components now act as white box and black box process
assets and can be used to configure larger process components or used in
enactable processes.
Another area of difference between the two proposals is the separation of
process element description versus its usage in a workflow. Again, this is a
well known need that we have addressed without introducing additional
concepts such as Method Content or Managed Content, but by applying the
element definition-usage pattern. We also feel that it is incorrect to limit
agile/adhoc process development from accessing the mechanisms for reuse and
extensionality. The compliance levels mandated by IBM submission impose this
restriction.
In summary, our concern is that the over-complex mechanism to achieve
modularity and reuse coupled by the over emphasis on introducing new
terminology for textual description and content management makes the
meta-model hard to understand for the average user and would cause a low
uptake and casual adoption of the exemplary meta-model. Moreover, by
over-emphasizing content management, the meta-model does not address the key
areas of process enactment and quality frameworks/metrics that are
increasingly demanded by process modeling community.
Thanks
Kamal
