Abstract

Crosscutting concerns in business processes have been addressed, among other forms, under the aspects orientation paradigm. The goal is reducing visualization complexity, allowing reuse and improving maintainability. Literature presents techniques that address aspects in BPM lifecycle stages of modeling and implementation. However, those techniques adopt different semantical representations, making the integration between those stages very difficult. This paper proposes a service identification method to select an implementation for aspects in order to meet goals set in the modeling stage. We describe an artifact produced with this purpose within an application scenario where Web Services are discovered and selected during a process execution. We conclude that aspects’ behavior can be flexible and adaptable at runtime .
