Dear All,

I'm working on the customization of EPF in order to allow the composition of
flexible configurations. This means that, basically, users should be allowed
to change configurations (through the publish perspective/published
website?), but only to a certain predefined degree of change. As an example,
consider the definition of a UP-based configuration, with a half-baked
programming stage, which should allow users to freely late-model the missing
programming steps according to some project specifics, but strictly requires
an API reference as a work product at the end.

This will imply extending the UMA metamodel with more specific flexibility
concepts and mechanisms to be associated with the SPEM modeling elements. It
will also imply a way to mark those elements (through stereotypes) in a
configuration that are somehow flexible. Finally, it must allow users to
change configurations in the publish perspective/published website,
according to the restricted flexible ways and mechanisms associated
previously with the configurations elements.

I'd like to have your guidelines (through the EPF code) regarding the way I
can do this. For now, I just want to be able to associate a predefined
flexible mechanism to a SPEM element (e.g. an Activity), and propagate that
association to the several views of that element, including the possibility
to change it in browsing perspectives, according to the associated flexible
mechanism.

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo Martinho.
