This is a stupid thing Meta-process modeling focuses on and supports the process of construction [[process model]]s. Its main concern is to improve process models and to make them evolve, which in turn, will support the development of systems <ref name="Rolland 1998"> [[Colette Rolland]] (1998). ''A Comprehensive View of Process Engineering''. Proceedings of the 10th International Conference CAiSE'98, B. Lecture Notes in Computer Science 1413, Pernici, C. Thanos (Eds), Springer. Pisa, Italy, June 1998. </ref>. This is important due to the fact that “[[Process (engineering)|processes]] change with time and so do the [[Process Model]]s underlying them. Thus, new processes and models may have to be built and existing ones improved” <ref name="Rolland 1998" />. “The focus has been to increase the level of formality of process models in order to make possible their enactment in process-centred software environments” <ref name="Rolland 1999"> [[C. Rolland]], N. Prakash, A. Benjamen (194). ''A Multi-Model View of Process Modelling. Requirements Engineering''. Volume 4, Number 4. Springer-Verlag London Ltd , 1999 </ref> referring to <ref name="Finkelstein 1994"> A. Finkelstein, J. Kramer, B. Nuseibeh (eds). Software process modelling and technology. Wiley, New York, 1994 </ref>.
A process meta-model is a [[meta model]], “a description at the type level of a process model. A process model is, thus, an instantiation of a process meta-model. [..] A meta-model can be instantiated several times in order to define various process models. A process meta-model is at the meta-type level with respect to a process.” <ref name="Rolland 1998" />
