An integrated model for capturing the process design process

This paper presents an integrated deductive object-oriented model that, in relation to a design process, is able to capture (i) the activities, operations and actors that have generated each design product, (ii) the imposed requirements as well as (iii) the rationale behind each adopted decision. Furthermore. it also offers an explicit mechanism to manage the different model versions that have participated during the design process. Thus, the proposed model allows the tracing of such design process and its resulting products.
