| Abstract | Global competition among today’s enterprises forces their business processes to evolve constantly, leading to changes in corresponding business information systems. Most information systems of modem enterprises are based on Web computing environment, which requires apprOpr-iate Web teclurologies for developing such systems. Examples of Web technologies are the browsers, search engines, related communication protocols and their implementations, mechanisms for creating dynamic and active Web sites, security mechanisms, and so on. These technologies lead to requirements for substantial changes in the methodologies for development and deployment of all systems and subsystems, which constitute any business process. Changes and/or new decisions are necessary to make possible the modern Web-based technological tools to be used effectively for Web-based business processes. Most existing approaches that extend the traditional software engineering to deveIOp Web-based information systems are based on object-oriented methods. Such methods emphasize modeling individual object behaviors instead of system behavior. A methodology, called Business Process-Based Methodology (BPBM), for developing business software components as basic building elements of Web-based application systems including Web-based information systems, implemented and deployed in Web-based computing environment has been proposed in this dissertation. The methodology is based on the idea of creating a unified framework for representing business activities as a basis for business process modeling. The primary purpose of such modeling is for analyzing relationships between a business process and associated business objects, for identifying business activities and designing object-oriented components called business components. Respective models, methods and techniques ensure the business objects and components to apply to currently mostly accept multi—tier Web application architecture using XML document as distributed object. For illustrative purposes, the proposed methodology including methods and techniques is applied step by step to developing a part of an inventory subsystem of an industrial information system as a case study. |
