Abstract

When it comes to practical software design, UML is the standard for modeling software applications. However, the design of complex business management systems requires much more than just UML for design. In the case of process modeling, UML is far too expressive to be understood by the average business user. Thus, BPMN was introduced. Although there is an important difference in abstraction levels of rules and processes, they can be complementary. A formal model for the integration was previously provided by us. In it, the BPMN component defines the high level behavior of the system while the low level logic is defined by rules in XTT. In this chapter we continue that discussion on a practical level. We discuss challenges that need to be addressed to provide full integration, not just on the design but also the runtime level. We demonstrate how the SKE design process can be applied to this goal. Then we discuss selected metrics for the evaluation of process complexity.

This means that it is a network-based application with stateless collaboration among its member components. Each request is expected to be self-contained (only the server has access to resources with unique URIs; the client sends a request to the server, and the server returns a resource representation to the client). In this way, the server does not store the information about the state, but the client is responsible for transitions between states.
