Compositional Modeling for Data-Centric Business Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data-centric business applications comprise an important class of distributed systems that includes on-line stores, document management systems, and patient portals. However, their complexity makes it difficult to design and implement them. We address these issues from a model-driven perspective by developing a formal, compositional, and domain-specific set of abstractions for the specification and analysis of data-centric business applications. Our technique allows us to formally analyze the specified system at design time; in particular we can analyze whether the system is resilient to abnormal conditions, i.e. that key system invariants can always be re-established.

Business Artifacts: A Data-centric Approach to Modeling Business Operations and Processes
Traditional approaches to business process modeling and workflow are based on activity flows (with data often an afterthought) or documents (with processing often an afterthought). In contrast, an emerging approach uses (business) artifacts, that combine data and process in an holistic manner as the basic building block. These correspond to key business entities which evolve as they pass throug...
متن کاملA Survey on Approaches to Modeling Artifact-Centric Business Processes
Business Process Modeling using artifact-centric approach has gained increasing interest over the past few years. The ability to put data and process aspects on an equal footing has made it a powerful tool for efficient business process modeling. The artifact-centric approach is based on key business-relevant entities called business artifacts, which are central for guiding business operations ...

متن کاملA Survey on Handling Data in Business Process Models (Discussion Paper)
Traditional activity-centric process modeling languages treat data as simple black boxes acting as input or output for activities. Many alternate and emerging process modeling paradigms, such as case handling and artifact-centric process modeling, give data a more central role. This is achieved by introducing lifecycles and states for data objects, which is beneficial when modeling dataor knowl...
متن کاملAn Artifact-Centric Approach to Generating Web-Based Business Process Driven User Interfaces
Workflow-based web applications are important in workflow management systems as they interact with users of business processes. With the Model-driven approach, user interfaces (UIs) of these applications can be partially generated based on functional and data requirements obtained from underlying process models. In traditional activity-centric modelling approaches, data models and relationships...
