Hands-on Artefact-Centric Business Process Modelling with MERODE
Artefact-centric business process modelling was proposed by IBM in their BALSA framework in 2008. Since then, it has gained interest as a way to achieve data-aware process modelling, e.g. as proposed in the Philharmonics Framework. This tutorial will first review the basic components of the BALSA-framework and the Philharmonics Framework. Subsequently a case will be be elaborated, making use of the MERODE tools: the MERLIN modelling environment and the associated code-generator.
The part of the tutorial will be hands on: the attendees will create the model in the tools themselves.
The attendees will receive a copy of the slides and a set of papers covering the material seen in the tutorial. All tools used during the tutorial are freely accessible or downloadable.
A list of learning objectives and how these provide value to the attendees
By the end of the tutorial, the attendee
- is familiar with the concepts of artefact-centric process modelling
- know how to elaborate and artefact-centric model in MERLIN
- can use the code generator to generate a prototype application from this model
The expected background of the attendees
Attendees are expected to be familiar with UML Class Diagrams and UML statecharts
