[service-orientated-architecture] An OO approach to BPM and SOA

[Keith Harrison-Broninski]

Gervas posted a reference to an article of mine last week, about taking an OO approach to modelling for BPM and SOA - which stirred up something of a hornet's nest.  56 messages on the thread in 1 week, at the time of writing this. >From the scale of the response, it is clearly something people feel strongly about.  In fact, anyone who takes the time and trouble to read these lists will appreciate how important the question is to the future of both BPM and SOA. So it seems worth trying at least to get the arguments straight.  With this in mind, I have made an effort to try and gather together the various associated issues, relate them to one another, and hopefully clarify the whole lot.  You can find it here: Can a business based just on activity sequences survive? You will see that this second article suggests you start by reading the first article if you haven't done so already.  Hence, the second article starts with a link to the first article. For space reasons, Gervas was only able to quote part of the first article on this list last week.  So if you are interested in the topic, I advise you now to read both articles in order and in full.  They only make sense if you read them in this way! The subject is clearly seen as important by list members, and I respectfully suggest that we might have a more productive discussion if everyone takes the trouble to follow the arguments that started it :-) -- All the best Keith http://keith.harrison-broninski.info __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Computer software program Computer software spy Computer job Database software Discount computer software Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
