Translating Standard Process Models to BPEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standardisation of languages in the field of business process management has long been an elusive goal. Recently though, consensus has built around one process implementation language, namely BPEL, and two fundamentally similar process modelling notations, namely UML Activity Diagram (UML AD) and BPMN. This paper presents a technique for generating BPEL code from process models expressed in a core subset of BPMN and UML AD. This model-to-code translation is a necessary ingredient to the emergence of model-driven business process development environments based on these standards. The proposed translation has been implemented as an open source tool.

From Business Process Models to Process-oriented Software Systems: The BPMN to BPEL Way
Emerging methods for enterprise systems analysis rely on the representation of work practices in the form of business process models. A standard for representing such models is the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). BPMN models are mainly intended for communication and decision-making between domain analysts, but often they are also given as input to software development projects. Meanw...
متن کاملPattern-based Translation of BPMN Process Models to BPEL Web Services
The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) is a graph-oriented language in which control and action nodes can be connected almost arbitrarily. It is primarily targeted at domain analysts and is supported by many modelling tools, but in its current form, it lacks the semantic precision required to capture fully executable business processes. The Business Process Execution Language for Web Se...
متن کاملTranslating BPMN to BPEL?
The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) is a graphoriented language in which control and action nodes can be connected almost arbitrarily. It is supported by various modelling tools but so far no systems can directly execute BPMN models. The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) on the other hand is a mainly block-structured language supported by several execution p...
متن کاملModel-Driven Development of Service Compositions
The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) aims at enabling the usage of high abstraction levels when orchestrating Web Services to represent business processes. While this has partly been achieved, several tasks required for the creation of a BPEL process demand cumbersome implementation of technical details, adding little value for the actual business process. Real-world tool-support stil...
متن کاملTranslating workflow nets to BPEL
The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) has emerged as the de-facto standard for implementing processes. Although intended as a language for connecting web services, its application is not limited to cross-organizational processes. It is expected that in the near future a wide variety of process-aware information systems will be realized using BPEL. While being a powerfu...
