Business Matter Experts do Matter: A Model-Driven Approach for Domain Specific Process Design and Monitoring
Business process design and monitoring are essential elements of Business
Process Management (BPM), often relying on Service Oriented Architectures
(SOA). However the current BPM approaches and standards have not sufficiently
reduced the Business-IT gap. Today's solutions are mostly domain-independent
and platform-dependent, which limits the ability of business matter experts to
express business intent and enact process change. In contrast, the approach
presented in this paper focuses on BPM and SOA environments in a
domain-dependent and platform-independent way. We propose to add a domain
specific-layer on top of current solutions so business stakeholders can design
and understand their processes in a more intuitive way. We rely on previously
proposed technical solutions and integrate them in an end-to-end methodology
(from design to monitoring and back). The appropriateness and the feasibility
of the approach is justified through a use case and a complete prototype
implementation.Comment: camera-ready author version for the BPM conference full paper in the
