“…In the current example, a workflow system is used especially developed for subject-oriented process specifications and workflows (cf. [14,15]). In case process modelling is started with the generic process pattern, each restriction step can be executed with that workflow system.…”

Although many organizations operate in a process-driven way, few members are skilled in specifying and developing business processes-a skill that has become crucial for organization development, in particular to establish agile enterprises. This paper shows, on the basis of natural language constructs (subject, predicate, object) and communication patterns between actors (subjects), how individual members of an organization could contribute to coherent and intelligible process specifications. A language and tool supporting Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) are introduced, allowing organizations to cope with strategic and operational challenges dynamically. As many organizations already work with BPM concepts and technologies, existing approaches to process modelling are also revisited with respect to representing natural language constructs and standard sentence syntax. Since most of them refer either to subjects, predicates, objects or to a respective combination, a roadmap can be developed for enriching existing modelling approaches. In doing so, organizations can benefit from stakeholder inputs for effective business process engineering re-using existing specifications.

“…Subject-oriented process modeling introduces an approach that gives balanced consideration to the actors in business processes (persons and systems as subjects), their actions (predicates), and their goals or the subject matter of their actions (objects) [3,4]. Every one of them receives and delivers information by exchanging messages.…”

Abstract. Subject-oriented business process management (S-BPM) introduces a new technique for process modeling that emphasizes the importance of the actors in business processes (subjects) and gives a balanced consideration to subjects, their actions, and goals. Because of the formal foundation and the clear declaration of subjects, S-BPM allows the distributed modeling and execution of processes, without losing the capability to verify the compatibility of processes. Executing cooperating processes in a distributed system also poses new requirements to the communication middleware, which is responsible for routing messages from one process instance to a remote peer process instance. In this paper, we describe an engine to execute S-BPM process choreographies. It is based on subject-oriented process modeling and a publish/subscribe middleware as communication basis. Our process engine also runs on mobile devices.

Abstract. Next generation SOA systems promise to enable an "Internet of Services" (IoS) -an open environment, in which every participant is free to offer and consume services. Such an IoS gives businesses the opportunity to outsource parts of their internal processes and to replace them by using external services. However, businesses must ensure that external services are compatible with their processes and that they can quickly adapt if service offering changes on the market. This raises the need for a process definition language with a formal foundation and well-defined semantics. In this paper, we discuss the suitability of different process definition languages for automatic service composition, show that subject-oriented modeling with PASS is well-suited for this domain, and how automatic service composition is implemented in the Theseus/TEXO project.
