Abstract-Scalable, distributed reactive systems require a scalable control infrastructure. Being able to model such an infrastructure is a prerequisite for putting it into place. In current systems, finite state machine based approaches are prevailing. They are, however, limited by their nature and hamper further improvements. Extensions like statecharts have emerged to alleviate those shortcomings. Despite all this work, the proposed improvements do not live up to the requirements of continuously operating distributed systems. Therefore we look for alternatives that break with the underlying state-based model. Workflow systems recently became mature enough to be considered for use cases going beyond small-scale business applications. The concept on which they build is promising to scale to large systems. This paper compares various modeling technologies using the real-world scenario of distributed data acquisition systems as we find them in currently operating highenergy physics installations at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The outcome of our qualitative evaluation will show that current finite state machine compared to workflow based approaches have a bigger gap between specification and executed processes. Consequently workflow based approaches are better suited for the use case at hand and require less custom software extensions to reduce the remaining gap.

“…The Business Rules Group [14] defines a business rule as a statement that defines or constrains some aspect of the business, and it is intended to assert business structure or to control or influence the behavior of the business. Several different rule types have emerged [13,14] where the following three are the most important ones:…”

“…The framework is based on agent-oriented concepts, like agent, commitment, event, action, etc., [18]. We use ebXML [8] and UMM [3] as the basis of our framework, more specifically the UMM Business Requirements View (BRV) for business models and the UMM Business Transaction View (BTV) for process models.…”

Abstract. One of a business system's important roles is to provide a representation of a Universe of Discourse, which reflects its structure and behaviour. An equally important function of the system is to support communication within an organisation by structuring and co-ordinating the actions performed by the organisations agents. These two roles of a business system may be represented in terms of business and process models, i.e. the separation of the declarative economic aspects from the procedural control flow aspects of the system. Although this separation of concerns has many advantages, the differences in representation techniques and focus of the two model types constitutes a problem in itself.The main contribution of this paper is a unified framework to facilitate the analysis and integration of business models and process models in e-Commerce in a systematic way. The approach suggested bridges the gap between the declarative and social/economic aspects of a business model and the procedural and communicative aspects of a process model. We illustrate how our approach can be used to facilitate integration, process specification, process pattern interpretation and choreography.
