Splitting GSM Schemas: A Framework for Outsourcing of Declarative Artifact Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case Management is emerging as an important paradigm for Business Process Management. The Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) model is a recent case management approach that substantially influences OMG’s emerging Case Management Modeling Notation standard. We study the problem of outsourcing part of a GSM schema to another party, and develop a framework that supports splitting and outsourcing of GSM schemas. One element of the framework focuses on restructuring the GSM schema to facilitate outsourcing while preserving the semantics of the original schema; the second focuses on locking protocols that define how the distributed parties should operate. Additionally, the framework allows parties to keep local parts of their GSM subschema private without affecting the outcomes of the global execution. The rules restructuring developed here enables a crisp separation of concerns, which allows reuse of existing GSM (and thus Case Management) engines for executing the subschemas.

Verification of Artifact-Centric Systems: Decidability and Modeling Issues
Abstract. Artifact-centric business processes have recently emerged as an approach in which processes are centred around the evolution of business entities, called artifacts, giving equal importance to control-flow and data. The recent Guard-State-Milestone (GSM) framework provides means for specifying business artifacts lifecycles in a declarative manner, using constructs that match how execut...
متن کاملVerification of Semantically-Enhanced Artifact Systems (Extended Version)
Artifact-Centric systems have emerged in the last years as a suitable framework to model business-relevant entities, by combining their static and dynamic aspects. In particular, the Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) approach has been recently proposed to model artifacts and their lifecycle in a declarative way. In this paper, we enhance GSM with a Semantic Layer, constituted by a full-fledged OWL 2 ...

متن کاملBarcelona: A Design and Runtime Environment for Declarative Artifact-Centric BPM
A promising approach to managing business operations is based on business artifacts, a.k.a. business entities (with lifecycles) [8, 6]. These are key conceptual entities that are central to guiding the operations of a business, and whose content changes as they move through those operations. A business artifact type is modeled using (a) an information model, which is intended to hold all busine...
متن کاملParallel Processing for Business Artifacts with Declarative Lifecycles
The business artifact (a.k.a. business entity) approach to modeling and implementing business operations and processes is based on a holistic marriage of data and process and enables a factoring of business operations based on key business-relevant conceptual entities. The recently introduced Guard-StageMilestone (GSM) artifact meta-model provides a hierarchical and declarative basis for specif...
