International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM), Vol. 6, No. 1, 2012

Abstract: Nowadays, novel strategies to develop and adapt workflow engines in efficient ways are required in order to have BPM and workflow solutions with the capacity to support frequent changes in the corporate environment. One key strategy is to build new engines by reusing as much as possible from existing components. This requires two things. Firstly, the mechanisms and technologies to build a library of reusable, extensible and adaptable workflow components. And secondly, a platform to integrate those components and form full applications. In this paper we show that Cumbia, being a platform for the development of workflow engines based on the modularisation of workflows according to concerns, suits this task. This is illustrated with YOC, a Cumbia-based implementation of YAWL.
