FLEXIBLE MICROINSTRUCTION SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTING MICROPROGRAMS WHICH EXECUTE TASKS, GATEWAYS, AND EVENTS OF BPMN MODELS

摘要

In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a set of Microinstructions define a set of primitives or instructions to execute a business process modeling language in accordance with the semantics defined by the language. The Microinstructions define atomic operations that can be executed as part of a running process. The Microinstructions can be combined into Microprograms which map to business processes of the business process modeling language, for example BPMN. The Microprograms can be compiled using a suitable compiler into any execution language. The Microinstructions thereby provide flexibility for executing business process modeling languages in any business process execution language.

主权项

1. A method for executing a business process from a business process model recorded in a business process modeling language, the method comprising:
providing a set of Microinstructions wherein each Microinstruction defines an atomic operation that can be executed as part of a running process; providing a compiler operating on one or more microprocessor and adapted to compile said business process model recorded in said business process modeling language into one or more Microinstruction procedures; and compiling the business process model recorded in the business process modeling language into one or more Microinstruction procedures referencing a plurality of Microinstructions wherein said Microinstruction procedures are executable on an execution platform.
