Execution Semantics of BPMN through MDE Web Application Generation, using BPM...Marco Brambilla
We describe a pragmatic approach based on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) principles for implmenting the execution semantics of BPMN. The approach is based on a two-step model transformation that transforms BPMN models into Web application models specified according to the WebML notation and then into running Web applications. Thanks to the proposed chain of model transformations it is also possible to fine tune the final application in several ways by refining the intermediate WebML application models.

A BPMN-based notation for SocialBPM. BPMN workshop 2011Marco Brambilla
Social networking is more and more considered as crucial for helping organizations harness the value of informal relationships and weak ties, without compromising the consolidated business practices embedded in conventional BPM solutions. However, no appropriate notation has been devised for specifying social aspects within business process models. In this paper we propose a first attempt towards the extension of business process notations with social features. In particular, we devise an extension of the BPMN notation for capturing social requirements. Such extension does not alter the semantics of the language: it includes a set of new event types and task types, together with some annotation for the pool/lane levels. This notation enables the description of social behaviours within BPMN diagrams. To demonstrate the applicability of the notation, we implement it within the WebRatio BPM editor and we provide a code generation framework that automatically produces a process enactment Web application connected with mainstream social platforms.
This speech was given at the 3rd International Workshop on BPMN in Luzern, Switzerland.
This presentation describes the service oriented architecture of a salable web based workflow platform developed by Reach1to1 (http://www.reach1to1.com), and used in various products like On2Biz (http://www.on2.biz)
Raiffeisen Informations Systeme (RIS) started the redesign of its main banking software in 2015. The new software is developed in Java and one of the major goals of the new banking platform is to support complex banking processes.
Actually, such a process is the loan allocation process and Raiffeisen decided to model it using BPMN and implement it using a BPM Platform. An internal evaluation led to use Camunda BPM, as it integrates perfectly in the (Java based) architecture of the new banking software.
After modeling the loan allocation process using Camunda’s BPMN Modeler, Raiffeisen used the Camunda Process Engine Java API as well as direct database queries to create their own interfaces to the Process Engine.
After successfully introducing the new loan allocation process, Raiffeisen plans to implement other banking processes with BPM, like the order and installation of P.O.S as well as branch comprehensive processes.
Following new trends, as microservices architecture style and developer-friendly BPM solutions, we want to present our active open source projects using Grails
BPMN and Design Patterns for Engineering Social BPM SolutionsMarco Brambilla
The integration of social software and BPM can help organizations harness the value of informal relationships and weak ties, without compromising the consolidated business practices embedded in conventional BPM solutions. This paper presents a process design methodology, supported by a tool suite, for addressing the extension of business processes with social features. The social process design exploits an extension of BPMN for capturing social requirements, a gallery of social BPM design patterns that represent reusable solutions to recurrent process socialization requirements, and a model-to-model and mode-to-code transformation technology that automatically produces a process enactment Web application connected with mainstream social platforms.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Overview
Workflow engine manages and monitors the state of activities in a workflow, such
as the processing and approval of a loan application form, and determines which
new activity to transition to according to defined processes (workflows).
Workflow engine facilitates the flow of information, tasks, and events.
Workflow engines may also be referred to as Workflow Orchestration Engines.
workflow engine is a core technique for task allocation software, such as business
process management, in which the workflow engine allocates tasks to different
executors while communicating data among participants. A workflow engine can
execute any arbitrary sequence of steps, for example, a healthcare data analysis.
The workflow engines interpret the documents in the server and acts according to
the computer defined process.
5. Workflow Engine Functions
Workflow engines mainly have three functions:
Verification of the current status: Check whether the command is valid in
executing a task.
Determine the authority of users: Check if the current user is permitted to execute
the task.
Executing condition script: After passing the previous two steps, the workflow
engine begins to evaluate the condition script in which the two processes are
carried out, if the condition is true, workflow engine execute the task, and if the
execution successfully completes, it returns the success, if not, it reports the error to
trigger and roll back the change.
7. Workflow Types
Sequential Workflows:
A sequential workflow represents a workflow as a procession of steps that execute
in order until the last activity completes.
However, sequential workflows are not purely sequential in their execution. Because
they can receive external events, and include parallel logic flows, the exact order of
activity execution can vary somewhat.
State Machine Workflows:
A state machine workflow represents a set of states, transitions, and actions. One
state is denoted as the start state, and then, based on an event, a transition can be
made to another state.
The state machine can have a final state that determines the end of the workflow.
