[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: modelling non-IT company / extend of E

["Peter Haumer" <phaumer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jan.
You might be interested in this presentation from the last OMG meeting in 
St. Louis.

http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/06-04-12.pdf

At the end of this slide stack (pp. 34) you find a list of nine case studies 
I collected from different user groups that use SPEM2.0 concepts that have 
been implemented in EPF Composer to represent processes from all kinds of 
different domains. Several of these have nothing to do with software 
processes at all such as an ITIL-based process, an organizational governance 
process, integrated circuit development, or even a process for running 
investment clubs.

In respect to your request about extending EPF with new meta-model concepts: 
we do not support this at the moment.  You would need to modify the EPF 
Composer source or write extra plug-ins for that.  Please, let us know what 
kind of meta-model concepts you would introduce and we can discuss if this 
can be modeled with the concepts we currently realized or learn about new 
needs of our user community.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.
