A case study in process representation using MVP-L

The authors conducted a case study within TRW which involved the creation of formal process specifications and designs using MVP-L, an existing process notation. The goals of the overall study were aimed at understanding the various steps in representing processes and evaluating notations for each process-representation step. These goals were consistent with the vision of a process-driven, reuse-based, technology-supported paradigm for the development of software-intensive systems. The study, the lessons learned about process representation in general, and the lessons learned about the language MVP-L are described in detail.<>
