We propose developing a prototype of a GUI-based wizard that: Guides users through the steps that are needed to define their processes using PSL in a visual/textual manner. Checks for consistency/correctness according to PSL ontology. Generates the PSL description. We believe that VISI-PSL will facilitate the generation of PSL descriptions to the extent that it will be used by process experts rather than by PSL experts, and it is the process experts that are the key to the successful implementation of process descriptions in any format. Specifically, our research will determine the technologies required to develop a software product that:1. Allow users to generate PSL process descriptions without having to know PSL. 2. Allow users to express process descriptions in a manner similar to the way they think. 3. Promote the use of PSL by eliminating the technological and non-technological barriers to its use. Additionally, the end result of the use of our proposed tool will be a graphical representation of a process that is transportable across computer systems
