We describe a software tool called WebRatio BPM that helps close the gap between the modeling of business processes and the design and implementation of the software applications that support their enactment. The main idea is to enhance the degree of automation in the conversion of business process models into application models, defined as abstract, platform-independent representations of the application structure and behavior. Application models are themselves amenable to the semiautomatic transformation into application code, resulting in extremely rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market. Thanks to the proposed chain of model transformations it is also possible to fine tune the final application in several ways, e.g., by integrating the visual identity of the organization or connecting the business process to legacy applications via Web Services.

Abstract
We describe a software tool called WebRatio BPM that helps close the gap between the modeling of business processes and the design and implementation of the software applications that support their enactment. The main idea is to enhance the degree of automation in the conversion of business process models into application models, defined as abstract, platform-independent representations of the application structure and behavior. Application models are themselves amenable to the semiautomatic transformation into application code, resulting in extremely rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market. Thanks to the proposed chain of model transformations it is also possible to fine tune the final application in several ways, e.g., by integrating the visual identity of the organization or connecting the business process to legacy applications via Web Services.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
