Object-centered Process Modeling

New modeling approaches appeared in the last decade centered on the premise that process structures in data-intensive landscapes are pushed by dependencies observed at the data level. However, as these approaches answer to reduced subsets of all data-related needs, they have a limited practical impact [12]. This work defines a set of data-based requirements to model responsive systems, studies emerging object-centered approaches to retrieve a set of principles and, finally, develops an event-driven solution that integrates such principles. Mapping of object-centered models to YAWL and case-applicability reveal the executability and adequacy of the new modeling approach to evolve data-intensive processes.
