Hi all,
a new draft:
Make Your Processes Executable!
Business managers often model their processes as an
abstract version. They are not concerned about how those will be executed later
on (and they shouldn't be!). The additional information needed by a process
engine running the process will be added by the technical staff afterwards. But
what happens if the modeled process shall be deployed on different process
engines? Each vendor requires different data which has to be added to the
process model. The Eclipse Java Workflow Tooling (JWT) project
answers these requirements in its EMF / GEF-based Workflow Editor. Different
views on the workflow, e.g. technical or business oriented views, reflect the
role of the user while an easy and flexible aspect-oriented customization
mechanism allows to handle specificities of target runtime platforms and
existing data as well as of modeled business domains. The process model also builds the basis for automatically generating
XPDL- or WSBPEL-code. We will also show the possibility to monitor the
process during execution on the engine as well as we'll demonstrate our
integration within Service Oriented Architectures in general and the
Eclipse STP project (e.g. by generating code for the STP-Intermediate Model) in
particular. Regards, Chris |
