Object Process Methodology

Software Engineering

Object process methodology, usually shortened to OPM, is a conceptual modeling language and a method for capturing knowledge and designing systems. It rests on a small universal ontology in which stateful objects exist and processes transform them, and with that vocabulary it can be used to specify the function, structure and behavior of both artificial and natural systems across many domains. The approach was conceived and developed by Dov Dori, and its underlying ideas were first published in 1995. The first book on the method appeared in 2002, and in December 2015 the International Organization for Standardization adopted it as ISO/PAS 19450 after six years of work by its subcommittee TC184/SC5. A second book followed in 2016, and since 2019 the method has been a foundation for a professional certificate program in model-based systems engineering.
