Automated Approach for Developing and Changing SOA-Based Business Process Implementation

Abstract

Reducing development time for business process implementation and downtime for Change Management is an important task in today’s fast changing market environment. We present an automated approach for developing and changing SOA-based business process implementation. We distinguish two layers: At modeling layer processes are modeled using BPMN and then at the implementation level they are implemented as a BPEL processes, which is further composed of a set of Web Services. At the core of our approach are a set of tools which perform the task of making changes, translating process description from one layer to another and tools for various other tasks of automated code generation. Finally we illustrate our approach for change management using the example of university registration system.
