Bundle Proves That Big Data Apps Aren’t Easy — Cloud Computing News It’s Business Process Management » BPMN 2.0 works: Integrating 8 different BPMN modelers with camunda fox BPMN-Toolchain Since the camunda fox BPM platform relies on standards, it is quite easy to integrate it with different BPMN tools that are dedicated to business analysts. This makes sense, because business analysts, requirements engineers etc. don’t want to map their processes with the tooling that is used for technical process implementation, while this is the exact environment the developers etc. want to use when making the process executable (e.g. Eclipse IDE). In certain “BPM-Suites”, those developers are often forced to use some zero-coding approach, where they have to implement the whole process application, including GUI etc. with wizards, forms and the like, although they’d love to just implement it directly in the programming language they already know (Java in our case) and would be way more productive doing so. It works! BPMN-Tools working with camunda fox BPM cycle based on camunda fox Requirements and products Demo Scenario processing invoices Tools
The Locker Project: Why Leave Data Tracking to Others? Do It Yourself With companies looking to follow your data trail online, why not take possession of that information and find innovative uses for it yourself? That’s the question Jeremie Miller — the developer known for building the open-source protocol that powers many Instant Messaging programs — is trying to answer. Miller is building The Locker Project, an open-source effort that allows users to capture and archive their own online “data exhaust,” the term used for the crumbs of data we leave behind as we move around the web. Using APIs and feeds, the Locker Project will pull in tweets, updates, pictures, check-ins, transactions, contacts and webpages, and will allow a user to store it on his or her own server or as part of a hosted service similar to the blog platform WordPress. Where things could get really interesting, however, is that The Locker Project is looking to have developers build apps on top of the service. We’re still a ways off from something like this being mainstream, of course.
FAQ BPM stands for Business Process Management. There are 2 different aspects of BPM: BPM as management discipline and BPM as software engineering. The BPM vendors have long time tried to make abstraction of those 2 distinct aspects. That path lead to more confusion then anything else. BPM as a management discipline is the responsibility of every strategic executive manager. BPM as software engineering means that executable business processes will be executed by a BPM System (BPMS). But what is less understood is that executable processes only take the perspective of a single system, the BPMS. Another less known difference between abstract and executable business processes is that executable processes are part of the software development lifecycle. Traditional BPM vendors try to abstract those differences with automagical round tripping between abstract process models and executable process models.
