“…It should be noted that there are many more developments in the field of reusable organizational knowledge which are not explicitly called knowledge patterns or semantic patterns. Other developments in this area are for example work flow patterns proposed by van der Aalst and colleagues [15], patterns for groupware [16] or patterns of interaction amongst actors [17].…”

Abstract. Business analysis projects often are considered as activities highly specialized for the specific enterprise under consideration. However, different enterprises in the same industry or service area often show similarities when it comes to organization structures and business processes. This indicates the potential to reuse at least some of the knowledge from earlier business analysis projects in later projects for enterprises of the same sector. Different techniques and approaches have been investigated and proposed for supporting knowledge reuse in analysis and solution design contexts. This paper focuses on the approach to use patterns for this purpose. The major question addressed is the evaluation of the "value" of patterns for the business analysis process and the solution developed. The contributions of the paper are (1) a proposal for how to evaluate the maturity and value of patterns, (2) two actual pattern types and results regarding their evaluation and (3) a discussion of pattern use in the context of business analysis.

“…The UML activity diagrams, on the other hand, are part of the UML suite of technical diagramming notations. Both notations are able to model most of the workflow patterns described in [9] which means they are feasible for modeling business processes [10,14]. On the implementation side, the most important standard is the Business Process Execution Language for Web services (BPEL4WS or just BPEL) [6].…”

“…UML Activity diagrams can model most of the workflow patterns described in [9] and have more expressive power than most of the industrial workflow management standards [10,11] for implementing business processes. It is therefore a natural choice to use activity diagrams for modeling business processes.…”

Abstract. General-purpose modeling languages are inadequate to model and visualize business processes precisely. An enterprise has its own vocabulary for modeling processes and its specific tasks may have attached data that define the tasks precisely. We propose using Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) languages to model business processes, such that an enterprise can define its own DSM language(s) capturing its vocabulary and data requirement. We suggest using UML profiles and UML activity diagrams as the semantic base for these DSM languages and present tools that are able to create a DSM language and tool support for a given domain. One tool, called ADSpecializer, can generate a UML profile and its tool support of a given application domain. The other tool, ADModeler, is used to create UML activity diagrams within such a domainspecific UML profile. The two tools enable an enterprise to efficiently define and utilize their own DSM language.

“…'Workflow Patterns' are the result of a long-running project to formalise the possible variations between workflow systems, and provide a common vocabulary to compare these [26]. It is telling that, when presented 3 , one of the examples given of hidden differences between workflow systems in the early days was the distinction between, in workflow patterns terms, 'XOR' and 'Deferred Choice'.…”

“…Firstly, the workflow control forms used have been re-examined in the context of 'workflow patterns', where the aim is to standardise the vocabulary for workflow in business process management [26]. Secondly, for the visual representation of workflow models we have looked at UML, which aims at a standard language for software design [17].…”

3-Level Service Composition and Cashew: A Model for Orchestration and Choreography in Semantic Web Services

Abstract. There are two types of behavioural model in the WSMO semantic description of services: an orchestration and a choreography, together called the interface. While an orchestration defines a service's behaviour as a composition of existing parts, a choreography is intended to document the conversation of messages exchanged with a single client. In this paper we present a three-level model for behavioural descriptions, and how the Cashew workflow model fits into this, building on existing work in, and establishing connections with, semantic web services, workflow, and software engineering design.
