The use of formal methods at early stages of software development contributes to the reliability and robustness of the system to be constructed. Int his context, real-time system development benefits from the construction ...

In the last decades, the multilevel problem has received increasing attention in the conceptual modelling and semantic web communities. Recently, we proposed a solution to this problem in the context of ontological modelling ...

This paper presents the Software Processes and Methodologies Modeling Language -SPMML-. This proposal allows to capture the vocabulary of methodologies and software development processes and thus unify them in order to ...
