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)

A Doctoral Thesis on Model Based Self-Awareness Patterns for Autonomy,
and using the ISE&PPOOA process, was presented at
the Madrid Technical University (UPM), Madrid (Spain),
17 October 2013.

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 :

Activity. Overview, Update & Breakout Agenda". International Workshop.
