(1) The document proposes e2EPCs, an extension to EPC notation that distinguishes between internal and external events through annotations. (2) It aims to allow an automatic transformation from e2EPCs to workflows that handles internal events internally and external events through a CEP system. (3) The transformation results in BPEL and BPEL4Chor code that interprets internal events as invocations and external events as message receives from the CEP system.

Oracle Event Delivery Network (EDN) of SOA Suite 11gGuido Schmutz
The Event Delivery Network (EDN) in Oracle SOA Suite 11g provides a declarative way to use a publish/subscribe model. Business Events can be published and consumed without worrying about the underlying message infrastructure. Events can be published from different programming enviornments. Events provide another way of interaction within a SOA and offer a much more loosely coupled model.
Towards the Semantic Integration of Plant Behavior Models with AutomationML’s...Tanja Mayerhofer
This presentation was given at the 4th International Workshop on The Globalization of Modeling Languages (GEMOC) 2016 (http://gemoc.org/gemoc2016/).
Abstract:
AutomationML is an emerging IEC standard for storing and exchanging engineering data among the heterogeneous software tools involved in the engineering of production systems. One important subset of such engineering data is the plant behavior. To make this data exchangeable, AutomationML uses the existing industry data format PLCopen XML. However, at the development stages of production systems, the plant behavior is usually defined using other representation means, such as Gantt charts, impulse diagrams, and sequential function charts. To make such plant behavior models exchangeable, AutomationML introduces the so-called Intermediate Modeling Layer (IML) with corresponding transformation rules to decouple the employed modeling languages from the target format PLCopen XML. However, IML itself as well as the transformations from and to IML are only semi-formally described. This not only hinders the adoption of IML as a common language for representing plant behavior, but also renders impossible the composition of heterogeneous plant behavior models for carrying out integrated analyses of the global plant behavior. In this work, we aim at clarifying syntactical and semantical aspects of IML by proposing a metamodel and operational semantics for IML. This constitutes the first step towards formalizing and validating transformations between behavioral modeling languages currently employed in the production domain (e.g., Gantt charts), IML, and PLCopen XML. Having this foundation, we aim at utilizing IML as the semantic domain for the composition of heterogeneous plant behavior models.
Enabling Ad-hoc Business Process Adaptations through Event-driven Task Decoup...Malinda Kapuruge
The ability to adapt running process instances is a key requirement to handle exceptions in service orchestrations. The design of the orchestration middleware and its underlying meta-model plays an important role to fulfill this requirement. However, current service orchestration middleware such as BPEL engines suffer from their imperative and tightly coupled task execution mechanisms making it difficult to adapt running process instances. In this paper we present a novel service orchestration middleware and its underlying meta-model to overcome this limitation. To achieve this, we combine the benefits of the models@runtime concept with the event-driven publish-subscribe mechanism. We evaluate our approach for its support to process instance adaptation and compare its performance to an existing orchestration runtime.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

External and Internal Events in EPCs:
e²EPCs

2. Motivation
We created a development method for workflow based
applications based on event-driven service-oriented
architectures (SOEDA)
Wieland, M., Martin, D., Kopp, O., Leymann, F.: SOEDA: A
Methodology for Specification and Implementation of
Applications on a Service-Oriented Event-Driven Architecture.
In: BIS 2009. (2009)
SOEDA uses MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) approach
Save development time by automated transformations
Transformation of EPCs to detailed abstract BPEL workflows
SOEDA Methodology steps
Step 1: Process Definition
Step 2: Complex Event Extraction
Step 3: Process to Workflow Transformation
Step 4: CEP Rules Specification
Step 5: Executable Completion

Presented by Matthias Wieland
4. Problem
All EPC events are treated the same way in the
automatic transformation
For every event a complex event description has to
be defined
All events have to be observed by a CEP system
But: Many events are process internal events
Could be handled “inside” the workflow without CEP
system
Manual optimization required
We need a EPC transformation that distinguishes
external and internal events
Presented by Matthias Wieland 4
5. Example
External event,
triggered by external system
Internal event,
triggered by process data

Scheer, A.W. & Thomas, O. & Adam, O.:
Process Modeling Using Event-Driven Process Chains.
In: Process-Aware Information Systems: Bridging People and
Software Through Process Technology. Wiley & Sons (2005)
Presented by Matthias Wieland 5
12. Input: e²EPCs
Explicit distinction between internal and external events
by new annotations (red lines) in eEPC
Aim: Keep change of eEPC notation as small as possible
– only following two new connections allowed
External event with organizational unit
Internal event with process data
Alternatives
Store type in repository
Place in swim lanes
Presented by Matthias Wieland 12
17. Conclusion and Outlook
Motivated why events in EPC should be
distinguished between internal and external ones
Showed extension of eEPC notation for modeling
internal and external events: e²EPCs
Showed an adequate automatic transformation to
WS-BPEL and BPEL4Chor
Future Work: Evaluation of the Approach
Annotation or annotation in the repository?
Chaining of EPCs?
End Event: invoke instead of receive
