Abstract

While there does exist a formal interpreter specification for the subject-oriented process modeling language that is the Parallel Activity Specification Schema (PASS), the existing spec is somewhat out-of-date and does not cover every aspect of current PASS. This work analyzes the shortcomings of the existing specification and furthermore contains a new interpreter specification that does fill the gaps. This new interpreter model is written in PASS itself thus forming a recursive definition upon itself (using PASS to specify PASS). Next to covering the gaps, the main benefit of this approach is its much more easy accessibility and understandability.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that for this work the reader is required to have a sufficient understanding of the subject-oriented paradigm as well as the fundamentals of the various elements of PASS with its SIDs and SBDs. If that knowledge is not available, we would kindly refer the reader to sources such as the aforementioned [16] or [13] for prior reading.
