“…This approach is inspired by aspectoriented programming and defines extensions to workflow languages in general [23], BPEL [24] and BPMN [22], to represent non-functional aspects of a business process such as security and logging, as separate, reusable modules. The notions of joint point, pointcut and advice used in aspect oriented programming, are adopted in this context.…”

“…For instance, [120] provides an extension to the BPMN meta-model to explicitly capture access control requirements. [22] extends BPMN to model non-functional aspects while [24] provides a similar extension to BPEL. BPEL4People [10] and BPELJ [18] are two further extensions of the BPEL meta-model to represent human tasks, resp., to incorporate java snippets in BPEL.…”

Abstract-As a result of the growing adoption of Business Process Management (BPM) technology different stakeholders need to understand and agree upon the process models that are used to configure BPM systems. However, BPM users have problems dealing with the complexity of such models. Therefore, the challenge is to improve the comprehension of process models. While a substantial amount of literature is devoted to this topic, there is no overview of the various mechanisms that exist to deal with managing complexity in (large) process models. It is thus hard to obtain comparative insight into the degree of support offered for various complexity reducing mechanisms by stateof-the-art languages and tools. This paper focuses on complexity reduction mechanisms that affect the abstract syntax of a process model, i.e. the structure of a process model. These mechanisms are captured as patterns, so that they can be described in their most general form and in a language-and tool-independent manner. The paper concludes with a comparative overview of the degree of support for these patterns offered by state-of-theart languages and language implementations.

“…Cappelli et al [2] propose an aspect-oriented approach to modularize crosscutting concerns in business process model- ing. They propose an extension of BPMN to express crosscutting concerns through the insertion of crosscutting processes (represented by activities) and crosscutting relationships (represented by flows among activities).…”

“…These transformations are responsible to generate a product in another derivation phase. Unlike our approach, the Cappelli's approach [2] does not address variability issues in business processes, not focusing on thus configuration and domain knowledge model. Related work is considered in Section 4, and Section 5 offers concluding remarks.…”

Business processes specify key activities in an organization, some of which can be automated. It is often the case that replication of activities across such processes occur and failure in identifying such replication results in organizational costs. To minimize this risk and optimize organizational resources, in this paper we characterize variability in business process and propose an approach to manage such a variability. The characterization of variability relies on the study of industrial-strength applications in the Human Resources domain. The management of variability is based on a compositional and parametric approach with Aspect-Orientation. It leverages and extends an existing tool to address variability in such domain.

“…Two modeling languages have been defined upon this meta-model: (i) AOPML [81] -an extension of the BPM notation to describe processes, improve modularity and make processes easier to understand and reuse [82]; and (ii) AOV-graph [83] -an extension of V-graph (a goal-oriented language used to model early aspects [84]) to represent the relationships among requirements. The AOVgraph has been used in empirical studies with the Health Watcher and Mobile Media benchmarks [85], [86], [87].…”

In this paper, we present the birth, growth, and maturation of Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) research over the last years, with emphasis on the Brazilian AOSD community and its research contributions. These research contributions are illustrated from different perspectives: (i) an overview of the research work developed by our community in several prominent software engineering areas; (ii) a historical chronology of the community; and (iii) the growth, impact and quality of research outcomes.
