Abstract

Nowadays organizations need to improve their efficiency mainly due to the current economic situation. Several organizations are involved in process improvement initiatives in order to become more competitive in the market. These initiatives require processes definition and performance measurement activities. This paper describes briefly a metamodel integration between metrics metamodel and software and business execution metamodels in order to support this kind of improvement initiatives. In fact this integration implies to control coherently Software Metrics Metamodel for metrics, Software Process Engineering Metamodel 2.0 for defining processes and JBPM Process Definition Language for executing processes. This approach is supported by a prototype.
