Workflow Patterns
The Workflow Patterns initiative is a joint effort of Eindhoven University of Technology (led by Professor Wil van der Aalst ) and Queensland University of Technology (led by Professor Arthur ter Hofstede ) which started in 1999. The aim of this initiative is to provide a conceptual basis for process technology. In particular, the research provides a thorough examination of the various perspectives (control flow, data, resource, and exception handling) that need to be supported by a workflow language or a business process modelling language. The results can be used for examining the suitability of a particular process language or workflow system for a particular project, assessing relative strengths and weaknesses of various approaches to process specification, implementing certain business requirements in a particular process-aware information system, and as a basis for language and tool development.
Gartner Inc. analysts predicts the convergence of SOA and business process management (BPM) and advised companies to align their BPM and SOA initiatives now to increase chances of becoming a leader by 2010. Also, they say beginning in 2007, BPM will become the driver for SOA implementations. I have seen confirmation of Gartner’s prediction in my SOA practice in that as SOA matures there has been a shift from integration style projects, to business process automation and optimization using BPM with SOA. BPM projects often require SOA for integration as a foundational layer for service orchestration. The power of BPM is exponentially increased with SOA by not just automating the human interactions but also the human-to-system, system-to-system, and company-to-company processes.
