This course was taught by Dsc Claudia Werner and was hold during the second period of the 2015 PESC academic year. The work was  a continuation of the research started during the _Reutilização de Software_ course (also taught by Dsc Claudia Werner during the first 2015 academic period).  The This first research was about Software Processes Composition. It involved a basic literature review and produced a document that shows some important related articles and describes some problems that we believes that are related to the Software Processes Composition. In contrast with the first research - that involved a more theoretical investigation - the  work of described in  this class consisted document had a more practical aspect.

This operators manipulates only processes described in BPMN and was firstly introduced by Duran and Pillat.
