Possible outline – to be discussed JWT Introduction JWT place in the Business process development life cycle How JWT improves the development, creation, maintenance and interoperability of the process definitions Possible JWT Integrations with SOA platforms etc. JWT vision for the future.

JWT purpose Provide build time and run-time tools to help develop processes Typical use cases will be : Graphically design a process Start/Stop a process/workflow engine Deploy a process definition in an engine Administrate/monitor engine in order to debug a deployed process No particular focus on a specific engine implementation or standard (even if standards will be promoted) : need for an independent process meta model definition No constrained graphic representation but BPMN will be targeted at first. Motivations are to be able to give to different user profiles different representation of the same workflow definition. E. g. : simplified view for business oriented users.

JWT description JWT is divided in two related parts : Workflow Editor (WE) Graphical representation of process definition Export of process definitions to XML Import of valid XML process definition and its graphical representation Workflow engine Administration and Monitoring (WAM) Process Definition Management (Repository & Package) Process Execution Management (Instantiation, Monitoring…) Process Runtime Resources Mapping (Application & Users) Worklist Management & out of the box “Desktop BPM” features Eclipse Foundation, Inc. | © 2007 by Open.

JWT WE – extension points possibility to generate code from the workflow models (WSBPEL, XPDL, etc. ) e. g. using the workflow generation framework at http: //sf. net/projects/workflowgenerationframework generate a documentation of the modelled processes create additional views (BPMN, ITIL, ISO 9000, etc. ) . . .
