Abstract:
The main purpose of this research is to develop and implement a metamodel process (Metaprocess) that serves as a repository to be reused in TeleHealth domain specific processes, being therefore identified as a useful tool for the development of agile and efficient applications. The work will be well justified as it will allow the efficiency validation of metaprocesses use and its reuse in the early stages of software application development in the field of Telemedicine. The intent is to provide a response to the research question regarding how to enhance reusability during the early stages of software development through the use of Meta-processes as software assets, in the particular domain of Tele-Health. This question stems from evidence that even through the great boom of business process system specifications and business process services, these systems have a great number of problems such as the lack of formal standards and appropriate specification metamodels in the business processes logic to meet their rules and specifics domains. Likewise, the existence of multiple work schemes and Metaprocesses representations do not consider the planned reuse of software assets in the early stages of development and formalization schemes that enable its validation for different domains.
