PPOOA, Processes Pipelines in Object Oriented Architectures is an architectural style for software intensive architectures where concurrency is a main concern. It can be used when individual paths of execution are required to be concurrent and several processes may be positioned along the path to control the action.

Practical Model-Based Systems Engineering is a new book with examples about the ISE&PPOOA method.(See the publications section of this site)

ISE&PPOOA/Energy is a new extension of this MBSE method to deal with energy efficiency issues for industrial processes.(See the publications section of this site)

ISE&PPOOA is referenced as one of the MBSE methods in the 2014 MBSE Survey by AFIS (Association Française d'Ingénierie Système)

PPOOA is referenced in the survey of architecture frameworks. The specification of architecture frameworks is one area of standardization in ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 (the international revision of IEEE 1471:2000):

We extended the PPOOA process to include systems engineering activities. The new process is named ISE&PPOOA (Integrated Systems Engineering  & PPOOA). ISE&PPOOA is described in the MBSE OMG wiki :
