Flow composition modeling with MOF
Abstract
With the current unprecedented e-business explosion, business analysts and enterprise software architects alike are faced with developing increasingly complex business processes or applications, while time to market gets shorter and shorter. Separating the application domain concerns (such as the flow of data and control) from implementation issues reduces the complexity and allows different roles to coexist in the life cycle of a software system. This paper describes a meta-model that allows the problem domain architect to define flows of data and control at any granularity level. To allow easier interchangeability among the tools or run times, flows are based on OMG's Meta Object Facility and use XMI as an interchange format.
