Model-driven architecture (MDA), design and transformation techniques can be applied with success to the domain of business process modeling (BPM) with the goal of making the vision of business-driven development a reality. This chapter is centered on the idea of compiling business process models for executing them, and how this idea has been driving the design of the JOpera for Eclipse workflow management tool. JOpera presents users with a simple, graph-based process modeling language with a visual representation of both control and data-flow aspects. As an intermediate representation, the graphs are converted into Event-Condition-Action rules, which are further compiled into Java bytecode for efficient execution. These transformations of process models are performed by the JOpera process compiler in a completely transparent way, where the generated executable artefacts are kept hidden from users at all times (i.e., even for debugging process executions, which is done by augmenting the original, high level notation). The author evaluates his approach by discussing how using a compiler has opened up the several possibilities for performing optimization on the generated code and also simplified the design the corresponding workflow engine architecture.

Activity Models

Most of today’s approaches to business process engineering (also called business process management) start from an activity-centered perspective. They describe activities to be carried out within a business process and their relationships, but they usually pay little attention to the objects manipulated within processes. In this article, we discuss an approach to business process modeling, model analysis, and business process enaction (also called workflow management) which is based on data modeling, activity modeling, and organization modeling. In fact, the ℒeu approach to business process management considers data models (describing types of objects to be manipulated in a business process and their relationships), activity models (describing activities to be carried out in a business process), and organization models (describing organizational entities involved in a business process) as separate, but equally important, facets of business processes.

Manufacturing Execution

Configurable MES is a hot attention in today’s industry. In this work, we present a MES model based on a production process modeling method. With the workflow management technology, a configurable MES framework is introduced and some important implementation methods such as production process modeler, activity script language and production process scheduler are presented. A successful application of an automobile engine assembly line shows that this model is useful and effective.

Cooperative Production

Process modeling of Cooperative Product Development (CPD) is the key of CPD process management. Analyzing the process of developing production based upon Petri Nets, referring to workflow management and combining with parallel project, a new workflow modeling method based upon layered timed color Petri nets is invented, which supports the developing of the model production that parallels CAD/CAPP. Finally taking the developing CDP of model product as an example, workflow model has been designed and has been inspected and verified in the software platform.

Complex Process

Most of workflow management systems in the market are based on centralized defining in the organization. Further more, they have poor ability to describe the complex process, and have difficulty to deal with the business process share between cross-organizations. To support virtual and cross-organizational workflows in distributed environment, WfMSs must realize cross-organizational and distributed management to improve the dependability and extensible etc. To solve these issues, a Web-based lightweight process modeling system has been developed in this paper. This system is based on Java and XML technology, and provides friendly GUI which is easy to be used. The model document can be saved in XML format, so the interoperation between different workflow products becomes easy. This system establishes the base for enacting the WfMSs.

Process Coordination

Workflow technology continues to be subjected to on-going development in its traditional application areas of business process modeling and business process coordination [ .It can improve the efficiency and manageability of an enterprises daily teamwork .Traditionally, it is not easy for the workflow modeling method to describe the complex business process clearly and intuitively [ .In this paper ,we improve the role based workflow model and introduces definition and enactment models to characterize workflows. In the way ,flexible modeling and enactment of business process is supported allowing changes even during execution.Finally,an example of Financial Reimbursement System is demonstrated to prove the convenience and feasibility about the method mentioned.
