The MSF metamodel consists of foundational principles, a team model and cycles and iterations. MSF 4.0 provides a higher-level framework of guidance and principles which can be mapped to a variety of prescriptive process templates. It is structured in both descriptive and prescriptive methodologies.
Completed in early 2008, MOF 4.0 integrates community-generated processes; governance, risk, and compliance activities; management reviews, and Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) best practices. The guidance in the Microsoft Operations Framework encompasses all of the activities and processes involved in managing an IT service: its conception ...
A metamodel is a model whose instances are models. [1] A GenVoca model of a product line is a tuple whose components are features (0-ary or 1-ary functions). An extension (a.k.a. delta or refinement) of a model is a "meta-feature", which is a tuple of deltas that can modify an existing product line by modifying existing features and adding new features.
A model conforms to its metamodel in the way that a computer program conforms to the grammar of the programming language in which it is written. Various types of metamodels include polynomial equations, neural networks, Kriging , etc. "Metamodeling" is the construction of a collection of "concepts" (things, terms, etc.) within a certain domain.
The vision of BPMN 2.0.2 is to have one single specification for a new Business Process Model and Notation that defines the notation, metamodel and interchange format but with a modified name that still preserves the "BPMN" brand. The features include: Formalizes the execution semantics for all BPMN elements.
The metamodel must support the analysis of the activities of the value chain to support the identification of differentiators. The internal value chain should as such be part of the metamodel. A capability analysis must be possible. This is closely linked to the second requirement. A capability is the possibility to execute some sort of activity.
A metamodel that complements existing UML metamodels so that business processes specifications can be part of complete system specifications to assure consistency and completeness. The ability to integrate process models for workflow management processes, automated business processes, and collaborations between business units.
MOF is designed as a four-layered architecture. It provides a meta-meta model at the top layer, called the M3 layer. This M3-model is the language used by MOF to build metamodels, called M2-models. The most prominent example of a Layer 2 MOF model is the UML metamodel, the model that describes the UML itself.
