“…However, the approach lacks information about the translation into code and on how the components interact to accomplish the process behavior. Chaâbane et al [10] proposes the BPMN extension BPMN4SOA for specifying web service invocations and data object manipulations in a platform-independent way in the BPMN model and provides code generators to Java and BPEL but their approach does not allow to include arbitrary business logic or hand-written additions.…”

Enterprise information systems created with model-driven software engineering methods need to handle not only data but also business processes in an automated way. This paper shows how to engineer process-aware information systems following the model-driven and generative software engineering paradigms. Existing approaches realize either the generation of automated or manual activities but do not employ model-driven engineering of all system aspects through systematic language composition. A generative approach that additionally uses process modeling languages allows developers to evolve generated data-centric information systems into process-aware information systems. To be usable within our generation process, we have developed a textual BPMN version and a corresponding language tooling to check the soundness of the models. We have included these process models into the generation process of an information system together with other domain-specific modeling languages, e.g., for data structures, and generate an extendable, process-aware information system that is open for continuous regeneration and hand-written additions. This approach allows us to lift a generated data-centric information system to a process-aware information system. Agile development enabled through the opportunity to validate assumptions automatically and adapt changes efficiently, enhances the engineering process as well as the generated systems themselves.

“…For the definition of the source model we used the non-functional editor with annotations as shown in Figure 8. In a previous work [6], we implemented a BPMN to java generator, which is responsible for generating the functional part of the composite service. Both generators can be used together with ours to have both the functional code in java classes and the non-functional code in AspectJ aspects.…”

“…In a previous work [2], we presented a model-driven approach to composite web service development, which starts with modeling composite services using business process models defined in the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) [3]. Then, these models are enriched with service related details using BPMN4SOA, which is a service-oriented extension to BPMN that we proposed in [6]. From these models we generate executable service composition code in WS-BPEL or in java using appropriate transformations and code generators.…”

“…In addition, we present an Xpand [5] based code generation tool which implements that mapping and produces aspect code for enforcing the security properties at runtime. This new generator complements the code generator from BPMN4SOA to Java, which we implemented in a previous work [6]. With both generators we support the functional and non-functional aspects of service composition.…”

Security is an essential requirement for business processes. However, we observe that security is mostly addressed at the technical implementation level and not at the design level. In a previous work we motivated the need to address security already in business process modeling. In this paper, we show how one could use Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) to enforce security requirements in a modular way. Starting from a business process model where security requirements are expressed using a profile mechanism we generate As-pectJ [1] code, which enforces those requirements. This generation is based on a set of Model-to-Text transformation rules. As security is a typical example for crosscutting concerns the usage of aspects allows for a modular implementation, in which the implementation of the business process is separated from the implementation of the security properties.
