Parameswaran Seshan

商品描述

IT systems around the world are in the midst of an evolution that is impacting business and technology. The increasing adoption of Business Process Management (BPM) has inspired pioneering software architects and developers to effectively leverage BPM-based software and process-centric architecture (PCA) to create software systems that enable essential business processes. Reflecting this emerging trend and evolving field, Process-Centric Architecture for Enterprise Software Systems provides a complete and accessible introduction explaining this architecture.

The text presents, in detail, the analysis and design principles used in process-centric architecture. Illustrative examples demonstrate how to architect and design enterprise systems based on the business processes central to your organization. It covers the architectural aspects of business process management, the evolution of IT systems in enterprises, the importance of a business process focus, the role of workflows, business rules, enterprise application integration, and business process modeling languages such as WS-BPEL and BPML. It also investigates:

  • Fundamental concepts of process-centric architecture style
  • The PCA approach to architecting enterprise IT systems
  • Business process driven applications and integration
  • Two case studies that illustrate how to architect and design enterprise applications based on PCA
  • SOA in the context of process-centric architecture
  • Standards, technologies, and infrastructure behind PCA

Explaining how to architect enterprise systems using a BPMS technology platform, J2EE components, and Web services, this forward-looking book will empower you to create systems centered on business processes and make today’s enterprise processes successful and agile.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

全球的IT系統正在經歷一場影響商業和技術的演進。商業流程管理(BPM)的日益普及激發了先驅性的軟體架構師和開發人員,使他們能夠有效地利用基於BPM的軟體和以流程為中心的架構(PCA)來創建能夠支持關鍵業務流程的軟體系統。《企業軟體系統的流程中心架構》反映了這一新興趨勢和不斷發展的領域,提供了一個完整且易於理解的介紹,解釋了這種架構。

該書詳細介紹了流程中心架構中使用的分析和設計原則。通過實例示範,展示了如何根據組織的核心業務流程來架構和設計企業系統。它涵蓋了商業流程管理的架構方面、企業IT系統的演進、業務流程聚焦的重要性、工作流程、業務規則、企業應用集成以及WS-BPEL和BPML等業務流程建模語言。它還探討了以下內容:

- 流程中心架構風格的基本概念
- 以PCA為基礎的企業IT系統架構方法
- 基於業務流程的應用和集成
- 兩個案例研究,演示如何根據PCA來架構和設計企業應用程式
- 在流程中心架構背景下的服務導向架構(SOA)
- PCA背後的標準、技術和基礎設施

本書還解釋了如何使用BPMS技術平台、J2EE組件和Web服務來架構企業系統,使您能夠創建以業務流程為中心的系統,使當今的企業流程成功且靈活。
