“…Providing them in multiple workflow languages would also increase their portability, but doing this manually might not be worth the effort. Fortunately, there are existing approaches to transform workflow languages [32], for example, transforming BPMN to BPEL by using the approach by Ouyang et al [27]. In addition, due to the fact that BPMN is the recommended workflow language for management plans, a wide variety of TOSCA containers will presumably support BPMN.…”

Portability and automated management of composite applications are major concerns of today's enterprise IT. These applications typically consist of heterogeneous distributed components combined to provide the application's functionality. This architectural style challenges the operation and management of the application as a whole and requires new concepts for deployment, configuration, operation, and termination. The upcoming OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) standard provides new ways to enable portable automated deployment and management of composite applications. TOSCA describes the structure of composite applications as topologies containing their components and their relationships. Plans capture management tasks by orchestrating management operations exposed by the components.This chapter provides an overview on the concepts and usage of TOSCA.

“…However, TOSCA allows plans to be defined in any workflow language providing clear execution semantics required for automated execution. Unfortunately, not all existing languages are suitable as many process modeling languages focus either on modeling or on execution [16,28,32].…”

“…For such situations BPMN 2.0 is suitable, because BPMN 2.0 has its operational semantics, i.e., there are workflow engines which run BPMN and also BPMN has a subset of elements from BPEL [Org07] and this makes BPMN 2.0 partially convertible to BPEL [SKI08]. Hereafter BPMN 2.0 will be used interchangeably with BPMN.…”

As the Wireless sensor/actuator networks (WSNs) started to be deployed in enterprise scenarios, the need of integration of WSN applications with enterprise business processes has emerged. Creation of the WSN applications in enterprises, however, requires much low-level programming, and this causes the loss of focus on the high level goals. Therefore a model-driven approach is needed. As Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the de-facto standard of modeling business processes, it is suitable for companies to use BPMN for the model-driven approach. In this work, first we analyze the WSN properties, which distinguish them from traditional IT systems. Thereafter, we analyze the general properties of BPMN which need to be preserved to keep the common understanding that BPMN brings. As a result, we end up with some properties that are relevant with modeling WSN processes in BPMN. From these properties, we derive the requirements for modeling WSNs and propose some extensions to standard BPMN. These extensions include a new type of task, a new type of pool and a new grouping structure to set performance goals of the corresponding WSN. Afterwards, we analyze the current state of art to compare our approach with other possible approaches. Specifically, we compare our approach with standard BPMN, BPM4People extensions with respect to requirements and show that why our proposals provide a more comprehensive and suitable approach.

Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning paradigm has been widely used during the last decade to model and solve planning and scheduling (P&S) problems, and it has proved to be very useful in the planning and coordination of human tasks. At the same time, Business Process Management (BPM) tools are being increasingly used in the modeling of organizations' business practices and processes, but their life cycle has shown to have some shortages (as the possibility to obtain context-dependent plan instances). In this paper we present a methodology and software framework to translate Business Process Models into HTN P&S domains, in order to cover some of these deficiencies.
