Spangler The future of EPC/eEPC Official statement from IDS-Scheer for this event regarding the future of ARIS Von: Roediger, Uwe Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5. Dezember :06 An: Betreff: AW: ARIS/eEPK beim Expertentreffen (…) bat mich, die Teile zu BPMN und Oracle kurz zu beantworten. Wir stecken momentan einigen Aufwand in die Verbesserung unserer BPMN Modellierung. Schon als Service-Release für die aktuelle 7.02 gibt es einige Neuerungen, hauptsächlich was die Abdeckung des Standards betrifft und die Unterstützung, möglichst konsistent zu modellieren. Im nächsten Main-Release (der Version 7.1) geht es noch einmal einen großen Schritt voran, vor allem was das Handling von Pools, Lanes und Subprozessen betrifft. Auch bei dem nächsten Release werden wir weiter an Verbesserungen arbeiten. Was das Spannungsfeld EPK und BPMN betrifft, sind wir gerade an der strategischen Planung. Unsere eigene Positionierung geht dabei eher in die Richtung, die EPK möglichst nur zur rein fachlichen Prozeßmodellierung zu verwenden, sobald es um die Implementierung/Automatisierung von Prozessen geht, sollte BPMN die zentrale Notation werden. Im Plan ist daher auch eine EPK - BPMN Transformation. Auf diesem technischen Prozeßlayer würden dann verschiedene Exportformate wie BPEL, XPDL, UML etc. erzeugt. Allerdings müssen wir auch berücksichtigen, daß es zunehmend Kunden gibt, die von Anfang an nur mit BPMN arbeiten möchten. Auch wenn wir diesen Ansatz nicht präferieren, da BPMN zur Beschreibung fachlicher Prozesse wesentlich schlechter geeignet ist als die EPK, werden wir dafür sorgen, daß auch diese Arbeitsweise mit ARIS umgesetzt werden kann. Die Oracle BPA Suite (OEM von ARIS in der Oracle SOA Suite) wird planmäßig weiterentwickelt. Nach dem ersten Mainrelease Ende August diesen Jahres wird es ein Zwischenrelease im Februar geben. Hauptpunkte sind hier die verbesserten BPMN Fähigkeiten sowie eine Simulation, die auf BPMN Modellen läuft. Das nächste Mainrelease der BPA Suite ist für Ende 2008 geplant. (…)

ARIS will have a transformation from EPC/eEPC to BPMN. It will be possible to export BPMN-models in ARIS to BPEL- code. BPMN-models can be created directly in ARIS.
