文摘

Over the last decade, we have witnessed the success of artifact-centric approach in business process management (BPM). However, the scalability issue was neglected by almost all its implementation frameworks. A non-scalable framework will severely hamper applicability of corresponding artifact-centric BPM systems in large-scale applications. Considering distinct characteristics of the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, we propose a distributed artifact-centric BPM framework based on REST principles. A prototype is developed using Docker-based micro services for continuously delivering of process engine instances. Through extensive experiments against a typical process-aware application, we confirm that the proposed framework is promising to support scalable artifact-centric BPM systems.
