Modelling and executing IoT-enhanced business processes through BPMN and microservices

The Internet of Things enables to connect the physical world digital business processes (BP) and allows a BP (1) consider real-world data take more informed decisions, (2) automate and/or improve tasks, (3) adapt itself execution environment. We refer these as IoT-enhanced BPs. Although numerous researchers have studied this subject, there are still some challenges be faced. For instance, need modelling solution that does not increase notation complexity facilitate further analysis engineering decision making, or an approach provides high degree independence between process underlying IoT device technology. objective work is defining considers important intrinsic characteristics BPs at level without growing language, facilitates represented in models independently from devices’ To do so, we present uses standard BPMN concepts model modifying its metamodel. It applies Separation Concern (SoC) design principle: used describe while low-level captured ontology. Finally, microservice architecture proposed execute integration with world. This flexibility support multiples technologies well their evolution maintenance. evaluation done us conclude application SoC principle using ontologies definition increasing Besides, decoupling created
