Abstract
With worldwide inter-enterprise collaboration and interoperability background, automatic collaborative business process deduction is a crucial researching subject. We have designed a methodology of deducing collaborative process by only collecting collaborative objectives and partners’ business services. The two key problems are (i) selecting corresponding business services for a set of collaborative objectives and (ii) ordering business services with serializations and parallelization. This paper aims to present a solution of business service selection and the following business process extraction. In order to solve the problem, we have defined a collaborative ontology, which contains numerous instances of business services and processes from the MIT process handbook. The collaborative ontology contains essential concepts in collaborative situations and process-deducing rules and algorithms. We provide a brief illustration of implementation within a SaaS toolkit called Mediator Modeling 2ool.
Highlights
In collaborative situation, all the partners come with collaborative objectives and their own objectives to achieve and business services to share
Further more in implementation level, first because the software tool deals with a collaborative situation, all the partners may use the software in the same time or individually
In order to interact with other software tools, the software should be able to deploy in ESB (Enterprise Service Bus)
Summary
All the partners come with collaborative objectives and their own objectives to achieve and business services to share. Collaborative business process is a combination of business functions, which is inter-linked and filled with sequences and orders With these needs, objective-oriented business service selection and collaborative business process creation are absolute essentials in collaboration world. Vatcharaphun Rajsiri has created a knowledge-based system for collaborative process specification [1] This system deduces a BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) based collaborative process model automatically with the help of collaborative objective model and MIT process handbook [2]. A model-driven and ontology based methodology, which take collaborative objectives, partners’ objectives and business services as input and deduce collaborative business process as output as automatically as possible, seems to be a good solution in this situation.
