LAYERED PROCESS MODELS - Analysis and Implementation (using MDA Principles)
Samia Oussena, Balbir S. Barn · 2009
One of the key challenges of Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is to build applications, services and processes that truly meet business requirements. Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) promotes the creation of models and code through model transformation. We argue in this paper that the same principle can be used to drive the development of SOA applications, using a Business Process Modelling (BPM) approach, supported by Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN). We present an approach that allows the SOA application to be aligned with the business requirements, by offering guidelines for a systematic transformation of a business process model from requirements analysis into a working implementation.
