ProMISE: a Process Metamodelling Method for Information Systems Engineering

Abstract : Processes play a great part in information systems engineering projects success. There are a lot of process models and metamodels; however, the "one size fits all" motto has to be moderated: models have to be adapted to the specificities of the organizations or the projects. In order to help method engineers building adapted process models, we propose a method to build process metamodels and to instantiate them according to the organizations context. Our method consists of selecting the concepts needed from a conceptual graph, gathering the current knowledge of metamodelling concepts for information systems engineering processes, and integrating them in a new process metamodel that will be instantiated for any project in an organization. This method is supported by a tool.
