Bridging the Gap e-Workflow - Workflow Standards and Research ArchiMate Insurance claim process depicted in ArchiMate. Archimate enables modelling in different layers. ArchiMate (/ˈɑr.kɪmeɪt/ AR-ki-mayt) is an open and independent enterprise architecture modeling language to support the description, analysis and visualization of architecture within and across business domains[1] in an unambiguous way. ArchiMate is a technical standard from The Open Group and is based on the concepts of the IEEE 1471 standard. ArchiMate distinguishes itself from other languages such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) by its enterprise modelling scope.[3] Overview[edit] ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. An architecture framework is used to structure the concepts and relationships of the ArchiMate language. History[edit] ArchiMate is partly based on the IEEE 1471 standard.
Welcome to XPDL.org ISO/IEC 42010 ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 Systems and software engineering — Architecture description is an international standard for architecture descriptions of systems and software. Overview[edit] ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 defines requirements on the description of system, software and enterprise architectures. Following its predecessor, IEEE Std 1471, the standard makes a strict distinction between Architectures and Architecture Descriptions. The description of ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 in this article is based upon the standard published in 2011.[1] Terminology[edit] ISO/IEC 42010 defines a number of terms: Conceptual Foundations[edit] ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 has a conceptual model that underpins the standardisation requirements. The ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model utilizes the following concepts: Conceptual Model - Architecture Description[edit] In the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model an architecture description: Conceptual Model - Architecture View[edit] In the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model an architecture view:
Resources - Workflow Management Coalition Interoperability Wf-XML Binding Version 1.1 FINAL (read press release) Document Number WFMC-TC-1023 (Zipped WinWord 629k) Document Number WFMC-TC-1023 (PDF Format 211K) The XML language described herein, Wf-XML, can be used to implement the three models of interoperability defined in the Interoperability Abstract specification. Specifically, chained workflows, nested workflows and parallel-synchronized workflows are supported. Wf-XML supports these three types of interchanges both synchronously and asynchronously, and allows messages to be exchanged individually or in batch operations. This document represents a specification for a language based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) designed to model the data transfer requirements set forth in the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC)’s Interoperability Abstract specification. This version (1.1) of the Wf-XML specification is fully backward compatible with its previous version (1.0).
Event-driven architecture Building applications and systems around an event-driven architecture allows these applications and systems to be constructed in a manner that facilitates more responsiveness, because event-driven systems are, by design, more normalized to unpredictable and asynchronous environments.[2] Event-driven architecture can complement service-oriented architecture (SOA) because services can be activated by triggers fired on incoming events.[2][3] This paradigm is particularly useful whenever the sink does not provide any self-contained executive[clarify]. SOA 2.0 evolves the implications SOA and EDA architectures provide to a richer, more robust level by leveraging previously unknown causal relationships to form a new event pattern.[vague] This new business intelligence pattern triggers further autonomous human or automated processing that adds exponential value to the enterprise by injecting value-added information into the recognized pattern which could not have been achieved previously.
BPMN Workflow Engine Event-driven SOA SOA 2.0[edit] SOA 2.0 architecture, ("event-driven SOA"), lets business users monitor, analyze, and enrich events to make the connections among disparate events that do not at first appear to be intuitively obvious. This makes these enriched events visible to others, especially business analysts or marketing directors, and also allows the SOA 2.0 system to possibly automate actions to take to address some unique pattern.[1] SOA 2.0 is the ability to create high-level business events from numerous low-level system events. Events are created by filtering real-time data (from middleware, applications, databases, and Web services, for example) and infusing it with defining detail such as dependencies or causal relationships discovered by correlating other events. In practice, this relationship of streamed events is processed through a causal vector engine, which performs a lookup based on recently viewed events and assigns a causal vector to an event if a relationship is discovered.
BPTrends | Performance Architecture: A Process Management Framework Much of the world is currently concerned with the largest outbreak of the Ebola virus in history (WHO). As people travel from and through the countries involved, they bring an increased risk of the disease to themselves and to all with whom they have direct contact. Historically, about 50% of those who contract Ebola do not recover (CDC). With no proven vaccine for the virus yet developed, as a world we must focus on the containment and prevention of Ebola. Processes and the Four Levels We have previously discussed the four organizational levels in this space: Worker, Work, Workplace, and World. Even the most carefully designed and implemented process will fail if it is not competently and vigilantly managed. Why is the management of a process, whether in response to a lethal threat like Ebola, or in support of a business goal, so critical? Core Business Process Below are ten core business processes most organizations must have to produce results and fulfill their goals. Figure 1.
Staged event-driven architecture SEDA employs dynamic control to automatically tune runtime parameters (such as the scheduling parameters of each stage) as well as to manage load (like performing adaptive load shedding). Decomposing services into a set of stages also enables modularity and code reuse, as well as the development of debugging tools for complex event-driven applications.

Enterprise Mashup Markup Language Mashed data produced by enterprise mashups are presented in graphical user interfaces as mashlets, widgets, or gadgets. EMML can also be[1] considered a declarative mashup domain-specific language (DSL). A mashup DSL eliminates the need for complex, time-consuming, and repeatable procedural programming logic to create enterprise mashups. EMML also provides a declarative language for creating visual tools for enterprise mashups. The primary benefits of EMML are mashup design portability and interoperability of mashup solutions. The introduction of EMML is expected to help accelerate the trend toward the integration of web-based applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) technologies.[2] Bank of America was a high-profile early supporter of EMML.[3] Other prominent early supporters included Hewlett-Packard, Capgemini, Adobe Systems, and Intel.[4] High-level EMML language features include: Directinvoke statement [edit] Code sample of passing attributes as parameters to a service:
Interface description language IDLs are commonly used in remote procedure call software. In these cases the machines at either end of the "link" may be using different operating systems and computer languages. IDLs offer a bridge between the two different systems. Software systems based on IDLs include Sun's ONC RPC, The Open Group's Distributed Computing Environment, IBM's System Object Model, the Object Management Group's CORBA (which implements OMG IDL, an IDL based on DCE/RPC), Mozilla's XPCOM, Facebook's Thrift and WSDL for Web services.
