Here is presented a component approach to process support for distributed team-based software development called LCPS, close to Workflow Reference Model. In the definition model, the meta-model entities are considered to be abstract classes in the object-oriented sense in which realization extends the abstract to accommodate a specific approach to process. Then instantiating this process models on a process sensitive environment, they can be performed. The performance model provides method to allow process instances to evolve. They are organized as a state machine. The component model allows to define fragments (or beans) of process models able to be reused.This mechanism permits heterogeneous fragments to be coalesced into a higher level process. Process beans can be reused, distributed and enacted. Models and instances can evolve and proposals are done. Then a brief study a on related works and some perspectives conclude the paper.
