Abstract

The Model Driven Engineering was developed to make application development more flexible, it provides a comprehensive interoperability framework for defining interconnected systems, and aims to reduce the inherent complexity that partners must face when developing their systems. In collaborative environments where systems are made through the collaboration of several departments or companies, the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approach seems efficient in maintaining and developing this type of system. This paper show the use of MDE in the context of business process management and present in detail an architecture for the development of collaborative business processes.

Highlights

  • Business processes have become increasingly popular in the context of modernization and business reorganization

  • In [2], the author proposes a tool that can be used in agile projects, thanks to the use of Model Driven engineering (MDE), Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) processes are systematically improved by means of metadata used to include specific transformation models business and technical oriented before generating executable Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) processes

  • This section try to give examples of transforming a simple of a client/Provider process Fig. 6 which is modeled with BPMN4Coll language onto the corresponding BPEL schema; using rules define in the previous section
