Towards BPM@Runtime
Resumo
Producing software to manage Business Processes (BP) in Information Systems (IS) requires considerable effort and time. This paper describes a software component that uses a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach to support BP management in IS into the context of an IS application framework. The BP Manager component allows the definition of BP models using a high-level language, that is integrated with others framework components to generate the IS applications. This component has important improvements compared to other BP management tools, such as support for collaborative modeling and support for the execution of empirical and ad hoc processes. Furthermore, the integration of the BP management component into the framework brings significant increases in productivity of IS software development and maintenance.
