Model SOA Business Processes Using Bpmn
Modeling business processes for SOA and developing endtoend IT support has become one of the top IT priorities. The SOA approach is based on services and on processes. Processes are focused on composition of services and in that sense services become process activities.
Experience has shown that the implementation and optimization of processes are the most important factors in the success of SOA projects. SOA is so valuable to businesses because it enables process optimization. In order to optimize processes we need to know which processes are relevant and we have to understand them ndash; something that cannot be done without business process modeling. There is a major problem with this approach ndash; a semantic gap between the process model and the applications.
This book will show you how to fill this gap. It describes a pragmatic approach to business process modeling using the Business Process Modeling Notation BPMN and the automatic mapping of BPMN to the Business Process Execution Language BPEL which is the defacto standard for executing business processes in SOA. The book will also cover related technologies like Business Rules Management and Business Activity Monitoring which play a pivotal role in achieving closed loop Business Process Management.
This book is for CIOs executives SOA project managers business process analysts BPM and SOA architects who are responsible for improving the efficiency of business processes through IT or for designing SOA. It provides a highlevel coverage of business process modeling but it also gives practical development examples on how to move from model to execution. We expect the readers to be familiar with the basics of SOA.
The book has been published and is available from Packt. For more information please visit http://www.packtpub.com/businessprocessdrivenSOAusingBPMNandBPEL/book
