A selection of sample industry and government applications will be provided from automotive, financial, homeland security and healthcare applications.

Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of and awareness of XML and its syntax a plus. Knowledge of XSD schema and its detailed syntax is *not* required.

Abstract (500 words):

Learn how to visually design and implement process definitions using BPSS V2 including the use of context mechanisms and workflows, signals and joins. This includes both ebXML messaging and web service WSDL interfacing. A selection of sample industry and government applications will be provided from automotive, financial, homeland security and healthcare applications.

The OASIS BPSS specification team has created a sophisticated modern business process modelling system building that extends the original ebXML BPSS technology.

While ebXML BPSS was restricted to a pure UML approach around binary collaborations, the new BPSS V2 includes workflow, signal and linkage techniques that work for binary and multi-party interactions.

The presentation will show how you can use this technology to model your business processes in a simple and elegant way while capturing sophisticated collaboration models that include important legal and legislative aware features.

These diagrams form the pivotal documentation for implementation projects. Practical examples from a selection of industry implementations will also be discussed and good practices and lessons learned from those projects.

When moving from project design to deployment, the visual tools demonstrated generate BPSS V2 syntax that can be easily configured to work with a wide variety of available runtime environments. Understanding how BPSS is integrated with the latest ebMS tools is also examined.

The aim of the presentation is to provide an introduction to business process modelling that will enable projects to adopt BPSS techniques to accurately define their process interactions. Beyond that the BPSS definitions can be used with ebMS and WSDL based process step interchanges to deliver a fully functioning business system.
