Modeling the implementation of processes

Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams

Modeling the implementation of processes

The choreography diagram provides various ways to model the implementation of processes in a system. You may start by analyzing your system then import a WSDL file (see Importing a service provider from a WSDL file) in order to implement your processes. You can:

Describe your processes in a textual way, as a series of actions, which can be done by an employee for example
Automate your processes using an execution engine [orchestration languages]
- Implement your process by a service provider operation (see Example: Using the Execute operation implementation type)
- Perform data transformations (see Specifying implementation types)
- Generate events (see Specifying implementation types)

Describe the internal behavior of each partner involved in a collaborative process [collaborative languages] (see the Working with ebXML chapter)
Describe a loop process (see Specifying implementation types)
Use an existing process to specify the implementation of your current process [analysis languages (except DFD) and collaborative languages] (see Specifying implementation types)
