[ÏÂÔØ]PhD thesis and Papers for SOC and BPM--No.4¡¶Essential Business Process Modeling¡·Published by OReilly ¡¶Essential Business Process Modeling¡·Published by OReilly an introducntion book for BPM associated with the presentation for BPEL4WS and other protocols in this area. Compared with <Understanding......> , this e-book only focus on the cobination of BPM and SCC without comprehensive illustration on service semantics. But for the application of SOA, this book is deserved to read, at least the first and second Part. Part One, Concepts Covers the BPM essentials, an approach to BPM architecture, a tour of BPM theory, and a survey of process design patterns and coding practices. Chapter 1, Introduction to Business Process Modeling and Examines what BPM (and is not!) and discusses its benefits. Chapter 2, Prescription for a Good BPM Architecture. Develops a model BPM architecture, and discusses the main pieces of a "good" BPM application, the design of each piece, and which standards are adopted. Chapter 3, The Scenic Tour of Process Theory. Provides a tour of the Pi Calculus, Petri nets, state machines, and UML activity diagrams, and why they matter. Practical software books seldom delve into theory, but theory matters more in BPM than in most software subjects. Chapter 4, Process Design Patterns .Includes a detailed look at the 20 process patterns identified by some of the leading BPM theorists, a group referred to in this book as the "P4." The patterns cover common branch-and-join and synchronization scenarios. Also covered are process communication patterns, human interaction patterns, and briefly, coding best practices. Part Two, Standards Provides a detailed look at BPEL; the BPMI specifications (BPML and BPMN); the WfMC (WAPI, XPDL, WfXML, and the reference architecture); web services choreography (WSCI, WS-CDL, WSCL); and the OMG's model-driven approach (BPDM, BPRI), BPSS, XLANG, and WSFL. Chapter 5, Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) Provides a detailed look at BPEL, the leading BPM standard. Chapter 6, BPMI Standards: BPMN and BPML Examines BPMI and its two standards: BPML and BPMN. Chapter 7, The Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) Overviews the main offerings of the WfMC: the reference model, WAPI, WfXML, and XPDL. Chapter 8, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): Choreography .Examines the W3C's work in choreography. Provides an overview of web services choreography and orchestration, and examines how they differ. A look at three choreography languages of the W3C: WSCI, WS-CDL, and WSCL. Chapter 9, Other BPM Models .Discusses four process languages that are too important not to mention. Examines how XLANG and WSFL have influenced BPEL, the nature of collaboration in BPSS, and the OMG's model-driven architecture (MDA) and leading BPM models.    Êղؠ  ·ÖÏí   ¶¥(0)
