Projects
- The goal of Adaptive Services Grid (ASG) is to develop a proof-of-concept prototype of an open platform for adaptive services discovery, creation, composition, and enactment.
- Timeframe: Sept. 2004 - Feb. 2007
- Sponsor: European Union, IST, FP-6
- Persons with major involvement: Dominik Kuropka, Guido Laures, Harald Meyer, Mathias Weske
- Timeframe: Oct. 2003 - Sept. 2006
- Sponsor: BMBF
- Objective: The objective of PESOA is to develop an approach for the product line based development of process oriented software (Product Family Engineering), which is validated by developing a platform prototype for Process Family Engineering.
- Persons involved: Hagen Overdick, Frank Puhlmann, Arnd Schnieders, Mathias Weske
Service Composition
- Today's business environments are characterised by an increasing demand for flexibility and interconnectivity. Therefore, new concepts for the development of software platforms like Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) are emerging. An important aspect of SOA is the seamless integration of (distributed) software systems and thus the composition of services. Important issues in this area span from pure technical aspects of the integration to goal-oriented, semantically consistent alignment of services and the exchanged data.

NaXDB - The Native XML Database System
- Supporting queries and modifications in an XML repository is a challenging task, and several related approaches exist. In a Bachelor-Project the native XML Database NaXDB was implemented in cooperation with the SAP Labs, Berlin. NaXDB uses a native approach, i.e., XML data is stored as a hierarchical tree. NaXDB implements an large subset of the query language specification XQuery 1.0 including XPath 2.0 for navigation as well as XUpdate for modification upon native storage. XML storage and retrieval is a general requirement for several applications, including Service Oriented Architectures, Information Filtering & Retrieval and Business Process Engineering.

Service Engineering - Bridging the Gap between IT-Architectures and Business Processess
- This joint project aims at developing a consistent formalisation of models needed to implement a methodology to map business processes on supporting IT-architectures. Various models are needed to define a business-oriented systems on different layers of abstraction (business view, logical system view, implementation view, etc.). Therefore, besides the languages and concepts used for the different models a set of transformations between them needs to be specified to gain traceability throughout the whole life-cycle of business processes.

Master Projects
Plaengine
Plængine is a workflow management system for integrated process planning and enactment. Its unique feature is the automatic composition of processes. This allows individual process definitions for each business case.
Bachelor Projects
Live Business Process Collaboration
Winter term 2009/2010.
The project is conducted together with the company
Collaborative Strategies. The goal is to examine latest technologies for their potential with respect to live collaboration about business processes. We will realize a set of scenarios with a prototype.
Winter term 2008/2009.
The project was conducted with
Camunda Services GmbH in Berlin. The goal was to integrate the
Oryx-Technology for web-based process modeling with concept known from wikipedia and online communities. The students developed the
BPMN Community. It is online, alive and available in different languages.
B3MN: Browser-basierter Geschäftsprozesseditor (B3MN?)
Winter term 2006/2007.
SOA mit REST: Semantic SOA mit REST – eine Evaluierung
Winter term 2006/2007.
Bachelor project starting in summer term 2006. In cooperation with Software AG, the project develops a tool for the refinement of business processes to executable service compositions using semantic service annotations.
