Specification and Management of Policies in Service Oriented Business Collaboration

Flexible Software Development based on Business Rules

“…The difficulties and inflexibility to quickly reflect the business' changes into the computational systems motivated this research. The identified reasons for those difficulties are as follows: (i) in most of the computational systems the business rules are dispersed in the documentation and in the executable code and this turns the maintenance slow and expensive [Halle 2001] and [Hildreth 2005] and (ii) the orthogonality between the perspectives of the process composition mechanisms and the business rules mechanisms make the integration of these mechanisms difficult in terms of collaboration in treating the business logic [Charfi and Mezini 2004] and [Orriens and Yang 2006].…”

“…Bart Orriens and Jian Yang proposed a framework, called BCDF (Business Collaboration Development Framework) [Orriens and Yang 2006] that increases the flexibility and adaptability of computational systems, where business rules are used to drive and to restrict collaborations among business processes. They argue that the approach increases the flexibility due to the fact that the development of collaborations is driven by business rules, which can be chained and used to automate diagnoses and complex decision points.…”

Generalizability and Applicability of Model-Based Business Process Compliance-Checking Approaches — A State-of-the-Art Analysis and Research Roadmap

“…The backward search resulted in 14 additional articles that were considered as relevant; the forward search revealed 21 additional articles. Articles focusing on runtime compliance monitoring (e.g., Namiri and Stojanovic 2007) or ex-post compliance auditing (e.g., Orriëns and Yang 2005) were omitted from further analysis, as they go beyond the scope of this paper. Furthermore, articles discussing abstract compliance management frameworks without concrete solutions for actual compliance checking were excluded as well as articles that simply provide an overview of existing approaches (e.g., Abdullah, Sadiq, and Indulska 2010).…”
