Description
Summary:Commercially available business process management systems (BPMS) still suffer to support organizations to enact their business processes in an effective and efficient way. Recently, a method for modeling and execution of business processes, named subject-oriented business process management (S-BPM), gained attention. This methodology facilitates modeling of any business process using only five symbols and allows direct execution based on such models. Any process is defined as a network of independent and distributed agents which coordinate work through the exchange of messages. In this work, we present a framework and a prototype based on off-the-shelf technologies as a general execution platform for S-BPM process models and we can prove and demonstrate the principal architecture concept.
