Overview

Excerpt from Applying Specialization to Process Models Section 2 of the paper develops a general framework for process specialization. Section 3 applies this approach to state diagrams, deriving a set of transformations which, when applied to any state machine, result in a specialization. Section 4 illustrates the potential benefits of this approach by means of a restaurant information system example. Section 5 extends the analysis to dataflow diagrams and section 6 provides an example of how a simple dataflow diagram can be specialized. Section 7 compares this approach to related work. Section 8 identifies and resolves a number of apparent inconsistencies between this approach to process specialization and the approach taken in the object-oriented paradigm. In this section, we also argue that the upward propagation that is responsible for this seeming inconsistency provides a valuable method for systematic object-oriented design. Finally, section 9 summarizes the results and suggests directions for future research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
