	abstract = {Information systems are intended to provide organisations with a new way of sustaining themselves, by helping them manage their activities using innovative technologies. Information systems require aligned levels for maximum effectiveness. In this context, business and information technology (IT) alignment is an important issue for the success of organisations. This paper presents the first step of the proposed approach to align the software system level, modelled by a Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagram, with the business process level, modelled by the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) model. A model-driven architecture approach is proposed as a means to transform a set of BPMN models into a UML class diagram. A set of transformation rules is proposed, followed by guidelines that help apply those rules. {\textcopyright} 2021},

	abstract = {ABSTRACT Collaboration in software engineering projects is usually intensive and requires adequate support by well-integrated tools. However, process-centered software engineering environments (PSEE) have traditionally been designed to exploit integration facilities in other tools, while offering themselves little to no such facilities. This is in line with the vision of the PSEE as the central orchestrator of project support tools. We argue that this view has hindered the widespread adoption of process-based collaboration support tools by incurring too much adoption and switching costs. We propose a new process-based collaboration support architecture, backed by a process metamodel, that can easily be integrated with existing tools. The proposed architecture revolves around the central concepts of {\textquoteright}deep links{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}hooks{\textquoteright}. Our approach is validated by analyzing a collection of open-source projects, and integration utilities based on the implemented process model server have been deve},
