  2. Content • Why MFI Process registration (MFI-5) • MFI & MFI-5 • MFI Process registration

  3. “process” & “process model” • Process is defined as • a set of work items, scheduled according to constraints, which all participate in fulfilling at a common purpose. [Breton and Bezivin 2001] • transformation of input to output. [ISO 1995] • one or more activities that occurs over a period of time in which objects participate. [ISO 18629] • Process model can be regarded as the product of process modeling.

  4. Related work • PSL (ISO 18629) • a language enabling interoperability of process information among industrial applications. • IDEF-3 • captures process details. • BPMN • defines modeling notation for modeling business process. • BPEL4WS • provides a means of specifying the interaction of cooperating services. • OWL-s • define an ontology to describe the interface a service provides to the “outside world”. • only for Web Services • ……

  6. Why MFI-5 Why we need MFI-5 • Resources on the web • Static resources and dynamic resources (behavioral features) • Interchange and communication between resources  process model • Process integration within/across enterprises • Business cooperation • Web services composition • MFI family focuses on the static resources on the web • MFI Core provides a very generic framework for various models. • MFI Ontology Registration aims to the structure and semantics of ontology • A new part is needed to meet the requirements of dynamic knowledge (web services, business process etc.) on the semantic web • process model registration • process model integration • Semantic interoperation between process models • construction of customized services/process model

  7. MFI & MFI-5 ISO/IEC 19763 (Metamodel Framework for Interoperability) MOF & ISO 11179(MDR) MFI Core Model Metamodel for Ontology Registration Metamodel for ModelMapping Metamodel for ProcessModel Registration Interoperability Exchanging Metamodel Instance UOD-y UOD-x Universal Of Domain

  8. MFI & MFI-5 MFI Core & MFI Process registration from MFI Core

  9. MFI-5 Scope of MFI-5 (1/3) • Objective • Provide a metamodel to register process models, including business process model, web service, etc. • Focus on the relationship between process model described with different process description languages, especially the composite process consists of subprocesses expressed in different languages. • Promote semantic interoperation between various process models on the semantic web.

  10. MFI-5 Scope of MFI-5 (2/3)

  11. MFI-5 Scope of MFI-5 (3/3) • What to do • Structural information of process model • Which subprocesses are contained in process model • Which artifact participate in fulfilling the common purpose • Semantic constraints of process model • Semantic relation/contradiction between artifacts • Order • Mandatory sequence • Precondition and postcondition • User-defined constraints • …… • What not to do • Language specific details • Implementation level details

  12. MFI-5 Basic idea of MFI-5

  13. MFI-5 MFI Process registration (1/2) • Base Model is proposed to register structure information of various process models • Goal: the purpose that should be archived by fulfilling the process model • Role: the actor who interact with the process • Artifact: the resources that participate in the process • Order: specifies the sequence of a composite process

  14. MFI-5 Base Model

  15. MFI-5 MFI Process registration (2/2) • Process Control Model is defined to record three kinds of control constraints in process models • Sequence control • Specify the sequence followed by the subprocesses • Object control • Restrict the semantic relations between artifacts and avoid possible semantic inconsistency • Support semantic interoperation between process models based on ontology • User-defined control • Trigger condition • ……
