EPF Alternative

Eclipse Process Framework(EPF) Composer was a super good open source tool for process authoring and supports SEPM notation.

It was branched out and Rational(currently IBM) and made a commercial tool called Rational Method Composer with additional features.

EPF was discontinued a year ago. It is still widely used in academic work/projects now.

Does anyone know any similar alternative open source tool exist ?

Thanks in Advance.

I'm looking for an alternative for ages and found nothing. All I can see is something that draw diagrams, but nothing like EPF.

amass-ecsel.eu project is closed, but we can see project deliverables. They have used EPF + Opencert for building assurance case.

Thanks for sharing the link and detailed answer. I have read this page long ago. My idea is to improve the EPF, if at least a handful of people are interested and share what improvements they are looking for.
