EasyBPMS: uma abordagem para integração de sistemas de informação e sistemas de gerenciamento de processos de negócio

Abstract

Business process management has become frequent in the context of Information Systems, allowing a more organized and aligned flow of business to the software requirements. However, the integration of Information Systems with the current Business Process Management System (BPMS) still has some limitations, such as increased manual work, lack of code standardization, and complexity of BPMS architectures. Based on this, this work proposes the design of an approach, called EasyBPMS, for the integration of BPMSs and Information Systems. More specifically, the integration of user activities from a business process to activities that manipulate business resources into an Information System. For purposes of evaluation, we integrate our approach with an example system. In addition, we implemented the same system using a direct BPMS and using another approach, called NextFlow. We performed qualitative and quantitative analyzes for all three systems. As a result, when using EasyBPMS, we had about 63.8% fewer lines of code compared to direct BPMS and 63.2% less than NextFlow. In addition, we achieved a reduction of 50% and 38.4% of classes in the EasyBPMS implementation when compared respectively with NextFlow and Direct BPMS implementations.
