Research On Some Key Technologies Of Artifact-Centric BPaaS Platfom

Artifact-Centric is an significant trend of research on Business Process Management(BPM).Business Process-as-a-Service(BPaaS for short)is the combination of Software-as-a-Service(SaaS for short)and BPM technique,which could assist traditional companies to solve the problems on BPM system development and maintaining.During the BPaaS platform development,it still exists a considerable number of questions which are worth to do some research.Therefore,this dissertation will focus on the research of the methods for tasks mapping,form automation techniques relating to the BPaaS platform,and then a prototype System of BPaaS platform's design module has been made.In the first place,during the whole research of BPaaS platform,a detailed description of the whole structure and characters of BPaaS platform has been done.And according to the actual scene,an Artifact-Centric process model for application has been proposed.Secondly,during the Activity mapping method of business process research period,this dissertation is based on EZ-Flow model and it proposes similarities comparison method of business process activities by combining with the label,Artifact operation behavior and tasks context similarities.In this way,it is possible to obtain all the activities similarities of the process.And according to the optimal value of that,the mapping activities could be achieved.This dissertation also provides the methods formula and results analysis to prove that this method has further development comparing with the method based on label.Furthermore,this dissertation concentrates on the research of form automation technology in BPaaS platform.According to the characteristics of the Artifact global configuration method proposes the method of form automation generation.During the process of creating form,it will complete the mapping of form element and Artifact at the same time.With the mapping method of Artifact and database,it realizes the database field and form element value update function in the business process cases.Finally,the prototype system of BPaaS platform's design module has been achieved and its function includes Artifact edit and mapping,process edit and configuration.Moreover,this system also generate a Universal Artifact file to support other modules' development and achievement on BPaaS.
