The document discusses implementing SOA and BPM in applications. It covers business requirements, common acronyms, using open source frameworks, and provides an example implementation. The presentation agenda includes SOA and BPM architectures, an ontology example, BPMN and BPEL standards, and a JBoss-based reference architecture with jBPM, JBoss ESB, and rules components.

6. BPM Vision
Ideas are cheap, implementation is hard
Think big, make small steps

7. Ontology
Before you start talking to me, define your words
(Aristotle paraphrase)
Specification of conceptualization
• OWL Web Ontology Language Protégé
• SBVR Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules
• Repositories of ontologies

9. BPEL for implementers
• BPMN-BPEL mapping needed (serious model descrepancies)
• BPEL4People
• WS-HumanTask

14. SOA Governance
Implementing SOA without a solid governance model is the
equivalent to having an airport without a control tower.
* Not enough process creates chaos
* Too much process stifles innovation and deters agility
* Evolve governance over time
