BPMN Extensions for Decentralized Execution and Monitoring of Business Processes

چکیده
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers are further expanding their offering by growing into the space of business process outsourcing (BPO). Therefore, the SaaS provider wants to administer and manage the business process steps according to a service level agreement. Outsourcing of business processes results in decentralized business workflows. However, current business process modeling languages, e.g. Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), are based highly on a centralized execution model and current BPMN engines offer limited constructs for federation and decentralized execution. To guarantee execution of business processes according to a service level agreement, different parties involved in a federated workflow must be able to inspect the state of external workflows. This requires advanced inspection interfaces and monitoring facilities. Current business process modeling languages must thus be extended to support monitoring in the specification, support modeling and support deployment of decentralized workflows. In this paper, correlation and monitoring extensions for BPMN are described. These extensions to BPMN are described such that the existing specification can still be used as is in a backwards

Extended Resource Perspective Support for BPMN and BPEL
This work provides support to the modeling and execution of the Resource Perspective of Business Processes with BPMN and BPEL. It is based on an extension developed to BPMN 2.0 in order to define and visualize the Resource Structure, Work Distribution and Authorization aspects of this perspective. This work proposes a mapping of extended BPMN process models to BPEL processes applying the BPEL4P...
متن کاملAn Extension of BPMN Meta-model for Evaluation of Business Processes
Business process modeling is used for better understanding and communication of company’s processes. Mostly, business process modeling is discussed from the information system development perspective. Execution of a business process involves various factors (costs and time) which are important and should be represented in business process models. Controlling of business units uses post executio...
متن کاملMonitoring BPMN-Processes with Rules in a Distributed Environment
In this paper, we demonstrate an application of rules in a business process scenario. As business processes, we consider data-intensive applications which need to move huge data files from server to server. By using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) in our application, we enable clearly and hierarchically represented business processes. Such modeled processes can automatically be e...
متن کاملEnabling Batch Processing in BPMN Processes
Business process automation improves organizations’ efficiency to perform work. Single executions of process models, called process instances, are usually executed independently in business process management systems (BPMS). In practice, we can observe examples in which a synchronized execution of groups of instances for certain activities, called batch processing, can lead to an improved perfo...
متن کاملMonitoring of Business Processes with Complex Event Processing
Business process monitoring enables a fast and specific overview of the process executions in an enterprise. Traditionally, this kind of monitoring requires a coherent event log. Yet, in reality, execution information is often heterogeneous and distributed. In this paper, we present an approach that enables monitoring of business processes with execution data, independently of the structure and...
